I like the concept of this, but it only works if Wilson is out the entire season. Since it's a 6-8 month injury, we're not going to be able to fit him under the cap when he comes back. We'd have to move Eller and Hagelin and fill those spots with rookies in the meantime. I also doubt we can swing a Chychrun trade without including one of McMichael or Lapierre. I don't think Samsonov has proven enough to be the main piece in that deal, and they want quality > quantity
