Quoting: FloppyBiscuit
I kind of figured it'd have to be a deal they couldn't say no to. I was hoping to surround Kaprizov with some more Russians, but to get all three would probably take more than we're willing to give. Maybe something along the lines of swapping Boldy for Laine in the trade would make it more appealing.
There's two more realistic scenarios I could see if the goal is just to surround Kaprizov with additional talented Russians.
1) Chinakhov - Rossi swap. I'd propose one-for-one, since Chinakhov should break out very soon, but just hasn't gotten much chance given the crowded CBJ forward room. CBJ would then have a Fantilli - Rossi - Sillinger - Kuraly/LDBB center depth long term, and they'd be more likely to take the best defenseman available in the draft at 4OA.
2) Less likely, but: on the draft floor, if Demidov falls to 4OA, I'd be open to Columbus trading down to 13OA and picking someone like Yakemchuk if he's still available. PuckPedia puts equal pick value for 4OA at ~13OA + 14OA + 135OA (5th-round), so it would definitely be for Minnesota's 1st next year, or an excellent prospect, and possibly more. Given that pick is a year later, and could be anywhere (hopefully in the late 20s/early 30s, I like MN), I'd propose 13OA, 2024 MIN 2nd, 2024 MIN 5th, and the 2025 MIN 1st.
