Yeah you’re not getting Kayliyev for Wahlstrom. Keep dreaming on that one. Kayliyev has had a rough 40 game stretch, but his 2 previous seasons were good. Wahlstrom is a bust and has never really had success. You’d be lucky to get a 4th round pick for him, not a young roster player.
Kaliyev career-to-date: 176 GP, 34 G, 36 A, 70 PTS, 12:27 TOI (17-28-45 at 5v5 and 17-8-25 on PP)
Wahlstrom career-to-date: 189 GP, 34 G, 33 A, 67 PTS, 11:55 TOI (23-23-46 at 5v5 and 11-10-21 on PP)
And to expound on your "[Kaliyev's] 2 previous seasons were good:
AK 2021-22: 80 GP, 14-13-27, 12:39 TOI
AK 2022-23: 56 GP, 13-15-28, 11:41 TOI
Wahlstrom's same two seasons:
OW 2021-22: 73 GP, 13-11-24, 12:04 TOI
OW 2022-23: 35 GP, 7-9-16, 11:41 TOI
If Wahlstrom's only worth a 4th rounder, I don't know how you could say Kaliyev is worth much more, when they've basically produced at the same rate in their careers to date.
