Quoting: Linlan
You’re right, unless a prospect immediately steps into the NHL and becomes a Calder nominee then they’re washed up
You do know that Kravtsov had a really hard time to adjust to the NHL, hell even in the AHL (5 goals in 35 games). He still have upside but that's gonna depend on him, and only him.
Chytil could develop into a really good 2C that's gonna be is max upside, he's not that elite.
CAR picks is probably gonna end up between 16th and 22th overall, so you could pick a good player but probably not a franchise or an elite player.
So, to recap: an elusive prospect who can't (for the moment) crack an NHL lineup, a B+ prospect who could develop into a good 2C and mid/lower tier 1st round pick
For
One of the best 2-way center in the game with an excellent offensive upside, who plays an average of 20 minutes per game, plays PP, PK and who's pretty good in the faceoff circle. Oh and he's also the leader of that team in terms of leadership.
So no, Dale Tallon's not gonna trade is captain for that kind of package
