Right. But you're also not getting Robertson alone for Zadorov...Rykov or Hajek maybe
I'd put Zadorov at less valuable than both Colin Miller and Olli Maatta at the time of their trades. The main piece will be a 3rd. What you add to that is flexible.

I’d put his value ahead of those guys but I get he is a polarizing guy because he has stretches where he looks all world, and then he makes a mistake and Bednar benches him. He is definitely Bednar’s whipping boy and I think that has affected his value.
Zadorov brings something that those other guys don't, and that's the capacity to change games and even playoff series with huge hits.
The reason I went with Robertson from Rangers' group of LHD prospects is due to the development timeline. Colorado are set at LHD for the next 2-3 years with Girard/Byram/Graves as Graves should sign for 2-3 years and then cash in as an UFA. As such, any LHD prospect we acquire would ideally be ready in 2-3 years time rather than before then. As a 2019 draftee Robertson fits that timeline much better than Rykov or Hajek.
Of your D prospects (all listed below) I figure that you won't want to give up on Miller or Lundkvist as they are recent 1st rounders. I don't know a lot about Jones, but I guess that if we're moving Zadorov for a prospect we'd want to aim a bit higher than someone selected 68th. If there's no trade to be made with Rangers we could move to another team, perhaps try to get Kolyachonok from Florida for example.
