If that's what trading Kapanen gets you, keep him. Santini couldn't crack the Devils last year, and although that's high 2nd round pick, it's still a 2nd round pick. I'd rather have Vatanen or Zacha.

This draft, that is equivalent to most draft's late 1st rounder. I would tack on a 3rd Rd pick onto this exact deal. A cheap, physical, stay at home defenseman and 2 picks. That's more than Winnipeg received for Trouba. It also fills a need.

Walsh is going back to Harvard, Greene is a very serviceable 3rd pair Defenseman. Bratt is naturally LW, so if Kapanen is acquired, no need for Dzingel. Boqvist should make this team in a depth role, and hopefully Bastian will, as well. I like the trade (probably need to add a cherry as I said above), but that's my target, too.
