I can do first + for Zucc, but Frost isn’t going to be the plus
Mats is a great forward, who would require Frost+1st rounder. That is what is going for other players of his calibre.

Then I’m out. He has one year left on his deal, and I’m not giving a first + top prospect for someone who could easily just be a one-year rental.

If a first is unwilling we could do a 2nd rounder.

Frost shouldn't require an add that big for a one-year rental in Zucc. I'd consider a third and a later pick, but not much more. May not even do that.

There is no definition of elite center that includes Kadri or Wennberg. So no, it doesn’t “depend” on anything. The answer is no

Wennberg I wouldn't really consider Elite, But Kadri is definitely an Elite Agitator

He did that playing the wing ??♂️
I assume Rakell isn’t available otherwise?

So I saw your mock draft, and I'd like your opinion on one of the guys there. But before I ask that, who are you planning to pick with that 11th overall choice? (Tell me on Twitter if you don't want it out in the open.)

I'm going to look at other options first before Barzal. I need to see him perform like that against the other team's top competition first.

I'm not going to disclose that information, and that mock draft is not connected to my personal plans for the draft. I have a list of 11 guys that I'd be happy with, and a list of about 7 or 8 guys that I'd be very happy with.

If I'm moving anyone I planned to do it at the draft so just try to let me know by then if you can. Thanks

Fiala for vrana as a base?
You'd have to add a significant amount. Vrana has been playing on the fourth line lately, while Fiala is a top six forward.
