Pilon is an ahler and Johansen might end up being a 3rd pairing guy, but they aren't that important in this IMO.
The reality is that any team that is willing to move their first round pick, as I'm sure the caps are, will only do that for immediate upgrades and help. Lundkvist and Kravstov are not that. I honestly don't think Kravstov beats out any winger currently on the caps' roster and is probably in a battle for the 13th forward spot at camp with Borgstrom, Snively, and Leason. Lundkvist would probably be an upgrade over Gustafsson this year, but giving up a first in the best draft in 10 years to give a guy who has played 25 NHL games averaging 13 mins a night is not smart asset management.
Unless they can get them for pennies on the dollar which is unlikely as a divisional rival, Lundkvist and Kravstov make no sense at all for the caps. Why spend a first on two lottery tickets that probably wouldn't even get the playing time here they are looking for when you could get Miller or Severson or Sanheim instead?
