Nylander for Zykov who adds?
Z has been misused by the coaching staff so far. Not many players on the team are better in tight spaces with the puck. He is a big body that will sit in front of the net. Yet he is a 4th liner. I doubt the interest is there

I know you don't want to here this, but I wouldn't offer much for Puljujarvi. I think there is a greater likelihood that he washes out of the NHL then becomes a consistent 2nd line winger. Given that, I'd offer at most Buffalo's 2nd next year plus Zykov for him. And frankly, I'm not comfortable with that.How big of a + would the Canes add to Zykov to get Puljujarvi?
Just spitballing.
