Trevor Zegras is not on the market, and I don't believe that the similar-value Martin Necas is, either, but if they were, neither offer is close for them.
It would take your own 2024 first plus an A prospect like Owen Beck or Filip Mesar to persuade their team to part with either.
Barron probably tops out at second-pair RhD and Kapanen and Ylonen are bottom-6 wingers; it's not clear to me that Ylonen is even worth his Qualifying Offer. You're the first person who's ever used the word "speedy" to describe Josh Anderson, and the two B prospects in THAT offer are no more impressive than Kapanen and Ylonen. Castoffs like that don't get you top-6 forwards like Necas and Zegras, both of whom are comparable to Cole Caufield and each of whom had far better starts to their careers than Juraj Slafkovsky.
