Kirill (25) is at the very worst, arguably a top 5 winger in this league, with 3 years remaining after this one, at a great cap hit for what he brings. How on Earth is he only fetching a pick outside of the top 5, an injured 2C and Zaitsev, who seems like he'd cost at least a 1st to dump?
The Foligno-Knies trade doesn't make much sense to me either. Foligno is worth more than Knies imo, especially at the deadline and in this scenario, Minnesota would likely be giving up a pick potentially 20+ spots higher than the one Knies was originally selected with. Knies is worth more than the late 2nd he was selected with but he's not worth this much, especially when in this scenario, with the Wiod selling, Toronto would likely be the team calling Minnesota
Outside of those two, I can at least see the vision with these moves, even if I don't personally like/agree with them
