Is Spencer Knight, struggling in the AHL, an upgrade over Tarasov, who returns from IR very soon and would require waivers? I don't know that he is. Add in removing one of the only veterans on the youngest team in the league? I don't think either team considers the Florida deal.
I'm not opposed to the Hertl deal. I'd prefer Lindholm for the same cost, but I would be fine with this especially since Hertl's already under contract. The top ten protection on the pick is key.
