Kase for AA straight up is kinda weird tbh. Why would we downgrade when we have the cap?

Kase != AA. I love how people are undervaluing AA, he's probably the 2nd fastest player in the league (speed is the new size, I'd love to see a AA/McDavid race), scored 30 goals for a team that can't score with a reasonable shot rate (his high danger shots are off the charts). He would return at least a young #2 dman. Not a 3rd liner. He's definitely worth the 6mm he's going to get next year, and he's only 25 (maturing right on schedule).

Kase is the better player imo.

Kase is no 3rd liner. He has 35 goal, 70 point potential on a cheaper contract. Watch a couple games of his this year, you'll be surprised.

I would wait until at least mid season to project this trade rather than a year out, especially since this is a contract year for AA.

AA is the classic example of constant improvement every season and until we see a full season from Kase I'm not a fan of this trade being a Wings fan.

Well your opinion sucks!
