You seriously don't think those picks and Slaf won't score more than Kaprizov on his own? I think this is one of those situations where the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. In other words, I don't think you are ever going to be satisfied with what we have or will have, so you are just going to keep dreaming that you can trade for elite talent and hope that what you give up doesn't turn out better, until it does.

1 point Kaprizov can stay in Minnesota if the Habs are drafting Michkov

It will be painful for Minnesota but this is a good trade for them. Not sure Michkov falls out of top 3, but it aligns with the Minnesota rework time frame.

Wild should do it, and commit full time to rebuild while this dead cap last

I rather be in the Habs shoes with endless cap space and a full pipeline along with 11 picks this draft. Dont think they'd want to change places either despite Minny also having prospect depth. Salary cap flexibility is everything these days.

Given none of this team have a real shot at cup. Wild are stucked in mediocrity, Habs are still waiting for those prospect to blossom.

4 and 5 round picks are just additional dart arrows. They are not significant.
