I can't argue with the idea here. My frustration is with the line construction. Kaprizov, Hartman and Mats are all small and if they aren't quicker than the opponent, they are easier to shut down. I use the Avs top line as the standard. Kaprizov is average size no issue here. But if Rossi plays on that line, he's undersized, move to Mats and he's even smaller. Teams like the Blues can shut these guys down because they are just heavier and wear them down. Kaprizov and Rossi with a bigger winger would help that line in the playoffs. I do think there is no way they trade Zucc if they really want to keep Kaprizov long term. They would have to go get a player that is better than Zucc in every way to sell it to Kaprizov. But who knows, behind the scene's Kaprizov might care less who is on the wingers and is just enjoying his time with Zucc. Only time will tell here.
