So you're saying Kotkaniemi is still more valuable than Kempe, Drouin is still more valuable than Athanasiou, and LA needs a win-now #1C as much as MTL does? Interesting flex. What a true canuck you are. You really know your ice hockey. Is that the one with the big sled that the four guys push?

Kotkaniemi more valuable than Kempe? Absolutely.
Drouin more valuable than Athanasiou? Yes.
But I never said LA needed a centre. I said it's a more realistic offer.
Sorry, I actually misread/ miswrote when I wrote this, not sure what went through my brain lol. My mistake.
Kotkaniemi is worth more than Kempe. By far. Drouin and Athanasiou would be about equal.
What I meant by this being a more fair offer is that Kuznetsov is by no means worth Kotkaniemi which was
@Eli originally idea. Which is terrible. Kuznetsov is past his prime and declining and Kotkaniemi is a young asset that's only getting better every season.
Athanasiou, Kempe, 2nd = Kuznetsov
Kotkaniemi, Drouin >>> Kuznetsov, 4th (as
@Eli posted earlier)
This was my original idea. Sorry for misspeaking.
