I think you could get a very similar package to what Zucker went for.
1st
Calen Addison (RHD)
Alex Galchenyuk (you can argue he's a 2nd liner)
I think that is the kind of return we should target.

Galchenyuk was a cap dump for the Pens. They aren’t getting a 2nd liner + a 1st and a prospect.
Go and check Galc's numbers, he's not a cap dump. At 26 years old and producing 17-19 goals and 40-50 pts a season, he's a legitimate contributor at the NHL level. Just because he never became a top line player doesn't mean he's a bust.

your not getting a second line winger (which is what Rakell is) a middle pairing defenseman (or a defenseman who has that potential) and a first for Rakell.
I mean I would Hollowel, Johnsson and a 3rd for him
I assume you're joking?
Edit: I see you were.

Wait are you wanting all 3 pieces for him or just one of the 3 pieces.
Athanasiou + Larsson + 3rd round pick
Nice offer. Could work for a contender, but not for a rebuilding team though.

I still think the best offer out there I have seen is Timmins and 1st.
It's not bad (I wouldn't be upset about it), but I'd want an additional piece. Timmins would be a good add, but that 1st will be late. COL adding Rakell would help to solidify their top 6 and make them a legit contender. Maybe Jost + Timmins + 1st.

Rakell for DeAngelo base makes sense
Not really. We need a RHD prospect and DeAngelo is going to want a massive contract. I'd pass. Nils Lundeqvist would work from the NYR, but I doubt they'd move him. Moreover, it is not like they need another LWer.
