<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>qc14</b></div><div>I think it's one of those that is very tough to judge because they both are the kind of guys that could be evaluated wildly different throughout the league. At first glance, Rossi scored .5ppg as a 22yo and has a great draft pedigree. From my read on it though, MIN fans weren't that happy with him/don't think he'll fit in with their salary structure? He did play a ton with Kaprizov and Boldy so I can understand wanting more from whoever is in that spot. Injury/health history is obviously a concern too but at the same time he played all 82 this year?

I think Caps would value Chesley as right around where they took him -- late first or early second. He's not a scorer, but has been incredibly solid through two years of NCAA and had a good WJC where he was heavily relied on. Basically developed at exactly the pace and the ways you would hope. Not lagging behind, but not blowing expectations away either.

The "value" here of I would say ~32oa (Chesley) + ~55oa (VGK 2nd) + ~50oa (Caps 2nd, discounted one year) is sneakily a pretty sizable package, but at the same time it is a quantity over real quality type offer. I would also say that Rossi is one of the guys I would be willing to move 17oa for in this draft, and that 17oa + Chesley makes more sense for MIN. I would do either and I would think that the Caps' FO would as well, but you never know.</div></div>

One correction - Rossi didn’t play much with Kaprizov and Boldy at all. In fact, his linemates most of the year were 3rd/4th liners and the 2nd PP unit.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>I like Heidt but he will probably end up as a winger. Neither of Stramel or Kumpulainen project as top 6 centers. Yurov signed an extension with his KHL team, he's also by all accounts not a center.

None of this justifies trading Rossi now, as only Heidt has any legitimate chance of being an NHLer next year, and even then probably isn't jumping directly into a top 6 centers role</div></div>

Yurov is a center and Height might also play center in the NHL. The Wild also have Khusnutdinov at center. The Wild anticipate Yurov as their future #1 center with Ek as number 2. Height might move to Wing initially, but the Wild see him as a long-term solution in the middle. Kumpulainen and Stramel are centers but both could end up on the wing.
