Re: Trading for Kucherov
With the intent of upgrading your 5 keepers this trade does just that. You pay a hefty price, but you upgrade your core with Kucherov. There is a bit of risk here with potential injuries, but I'm certainly not worried about Kucherov's production when healthy over the next two or three years. Ther is a bit of risk here, but I think it's acceptable. As for Kuch vs Kaprizov, well I think in a keeper Kaprizov has more value than Kuch based on age and similar talent. That's likely why the other GM turned down your offer. Kucherov's current GM may well consider the return your offering fair.
