Yeah Ostlund or Kulich from Buffalo will be the ask but u still need to get a 1st round pick to go along with them.
The TK ask should be a top prospect and a 1st. Depending on how early or late the 1st is or what year it is in depends on how good the prospect is.
If you can’t get 2 good pieces for TK you have to re-sign him. You can’t just give him away. Fiala, DeBrincat, etc all good multiple strong pieces and TK has probably been just as good as those guys.
the top 6 wing rental market has always been weaker than people seem to think it will be. Ostlund or similar for Konecny is a great deal for both sides. 11 for Konecny is also a great deal for both sides.
Or.. 1st in 25, one of Buffalo's secondary prospects. (ranked 4-8 via Athletic)
Sam Reinhart, Alex Debrincat, Pavel Buchnevich.. rental RFAs who received varied returns from a late 1st or 2nd and a B prospect or player.. Debrincat got the top 10 1st from Ottawa, but the 2nd and 3rd and some of the 1sts value equate to the other two trades.
Timo Meier got a late 1st, middle 6 forward, top 3rd ranked prospect for a wad of guys.
So a one year UFA? If 11OA is involved, expect a middling prospect from Buffalo, if anything. All these guys above aren't injury prone either.
