Value is okay, but of the 3 players coming to SJ, Strome is the only one I see making an impact and worth trading for. The other two don't address any of our needs. From what I can tell, Huska has dropped off pretty significantly from his NCAA days and Rykov is nothing more than a future bottom pairing defensman at best. We have quite a few goalies who can put up at least an .894 in the AHL, and certainly have enough 7th defensman options.
Gambrell imo is more valuable and has a much higher ceiling than the both of them combined.
For that reason, if I'm Doug Wilson, I probably decline this one, or at least modify it so that we keep Gambrell and don't acquire Huska.
Strome + Rykov for the 2nd + 5th would be fine
