I mean Kasper is a better prospect than Edstrom so... yes?
Either way, asking about 1-for-1 trades is a huge difference because then we're talking organizational needs, timelines, situational context. Same thing with splitting hairs over whether or not Augustine would be #1 or #2. The point is our pipeline is in a great position when a guy already playing at the Men's Worlds as a d+1 isn't even the top ranked goalie in our pool.
The members here overvalue Kasper so much it's hilarious. I have Trey over him, and yeah, I like the goalies. I'll even admit Cossa over Wallstedt was a good idea, though I still have Svechkov over both, and he's doing better than Kasper in the AHL even though he's a year younger.
But I don't think Trey would be #1 on a bunch of NHL teams, if you deep dive into the prospects you can find one or two, I picked Vegas as an example. They have 2 kids in juniors putting up better stats than Danielson who ranked #1 here.
Would he rank #3 or higher on most teams... yeah sure. In fact, if Cossa wasn't a choice, he probably would have been #3 here. People just didn't want to go back to back on the goalies, but I had him #4.
