Seguin is a really good skater, but so is Kuznetsov. They're pretty similar, in terms of style. Those goal totals, though. He seems able to anchor his own line, so if Eller can play with Ovechkin and Wilson, the Caps could have a lot of really good lines: Ovechkin Eller WIlson; Connolly Backstrom Oshie; Vrana Faksa Spezza; Boyd Seguin Smith-Pelly. You can't really match lines against that. If you try to shut down Ovechkin and Seguin, Oshie and Vrana get you.
Dallas probably doesn't want to deal three good centers in any one move, though. If Kuznetsov is for Seguin and Burakovsky and Stephenson are for Faksa.... and Dallas still has to give back some salary, then in this limited scenario, would Nichushkin be more appealing than Spezza, as a return for Johansen?
