There needs to be at least 1 if not 2 pieces that could potentially turn out to be as good as Kaprisov, then a really good roster player (have that in Girard) and a few picks (not necessary that they are both 1sts). I don't know much about Kaut (assuming he's a blue chip prospect then that's 1 check), but Newhook is closer to being a bust than being a Kaprisov-caliber player. They aren't going to get any more pieces which just means that Colorado is not a good fit.
If Colorado's 1sts were likely top 10 picks then maybe this deal would be sufficient enough or Kaprisov demanded a trade and refused to play until it happens.
