Ouuuu, tell me more about the LD prospects that Nashville have! Brandon Fortunato had a great year in the ECHL last year! You're right...there's definitely quantity in that system
I guess I'm just really confused as to your evaluation of Foudy, and why you think that you're going to get someone better with a mid 2nd round pick. Guy is extremely skilled, quick, and plays center reasonably well. The only downside is that he's not great in his own end yet (Sounds like most 20 year old top prospects). As for Rocco? Guy is the prototypical bottom 6 forward that every, single, f*cking, team in the league has. What do people love him? Because he's little and plays hard!
Fortunato's the example you're going to cherry pick? Really? What, CBJ doesn't have ECHL players in their system? How about Farrance, Davies, Chistyakov, Carrier, or Wilsby? They all have more potential than Carlsson. Kylington is a better defenseman than Carlsson, and no one claimed him off waivers recently. Carlsson doesn't have any trade value, and where would NSH even put him, without an AHL team of their own this season?
As I said previously, I love Foudy's speed. It's his hands, and vision I question. Reminds me of watching Iain Duncan when I was a kid. I guess if NSH was going to do a full rebuild something around Foudy for Grimaldi could work, just for the sake of getting younger, but I'd rather trade Grimaldi for picks in that case. As for getting someone better than Foudy with a 2nd, I'd absolutely take that chance. If you want to use NSH two most recent 2nd round picks as examples (Evangelista and Afanasyev), I wouldn't swap either of them straight up for Foudy.
If you value your prospects more than I do - great, keep them. Don't get mad at me for declining the trade, get mad at the OP for making a proposal you don't like either.
