Quoting: Datsyukian
Krebs was playing full time for the Knights down the middle at 19/20 years of age and will be playing full time for the Sabres in short. Cossa is a goalie prospect - odds of him EVER being an NHL regular are extremely low, simply because of his position.
That's not how picks or trades work - they don't make up value. Plain and simple Zadina has little to no value in the NHL right now. We are stuck with him and hopefully he becomes productive.
Who gives a flying F what Hakan says - when does Hakan not have nice things to say about prospects? Fact is Johansson is just another D prospect. I can sit here and list the plethora of D prospects the WIngs have had in the last 10 years that amounted to nothing, please don't make me do it.
ARZ very well may trade Chychrun, but it will be for legit young NHL talent and/or legit NHL prospects and a 1st. I think the original point I was making anyway is that this is in no way, shape or form more than the return for Eichel.
From someone who recently went to quite a few VGK games I would say your definition of “regular” is off.
Here’s another source just to backup my eyes.

Cossa was literally just selected and the FO decided to move up and snag him. I’d trust Detroit’s FO evaluation of yours. His value doesn’t diminish because his position. That doesn’t make sense, unless you think our FO though he was a defensemen/forward.
Which is why I said unbiased organization like EP because I knew you’d think Hakan is biased. If you want to hear that one look up the EP Rinkside episode with Hakan and it was JD Burke + Button. Further, if Hakan didn’t like him then he just wouldn’t say anything about him and talking about the many other Euro prospects.
Sure, trades are all about value. Not every trade is a 1:1, very rare to get a 1:1 like the Jones to CLB trade. Cossa is a legit NHL prospect and there’s a first in there so your last sentence contradicts the offer.
