Pavel Zacha is a better player than Josh Anderson, so I would just prefer to keep him around in that case. I would trade him straight up for Jake Allen though (not sure how much he’s worth to you guys)

The CBJ trade is not something they consider. Ever.

So Seattle moves down 22 spots and their reward for it is an overpaid PP merch and some random scrub?

How does that make any sense?

Pittsburgh, with the 21st overall pick, wouldn't accept that package for it. The idea that Seattle would move out of number 4 (Jiricek or Nemec) for it is, well, other-worldly.
