Quoting: Lancebmx
Even then is it worth it? I would rather take one or two better assets than all that.
I'd say it's worth it. If you take a closer look at the players you'll find that:
Nylander is just rebounding from surgery (missed last season) and he'll only get better as he heals. Expect 0.5 PPG or more next season. Plays both sides.
Poulin is waivers exempt for two more years and there's plenty of time to let him improve.
Joseph is a good playmaking defender that is ready to take a roster spot. He has improved every year and quite a bit this season.
Kapanen has never scored less than 0.5 PPG and is cheap and there's a good chance of him still improving.
Hållander is the weakest of the lot but he's exempt from waivers and could still be a bottom-6 centre in two years time.
If only one of Nylander/Kapanen hits it'll be a very good trade for us. The two of them will replace Bert's production and together they'll exceed it.
Joseph is good enough to let us trade Oesterle and get a pick for him or include him in a package.
Poulin and Hållander are lottery tickets.
A 2nd is good in a deep draft like this one.
With Berggren coming up next season this gives us a reason to trade Fabbri who's a black hole defensively and a really bad playmaker.
Vrána - Larkin - Raymond
Zadina - ? - Kapanen
