Among the better or higher potential forwards only
Group A: Panarin, Zbad, Kreider
Group B: Kakko, Chytil, Kravtsov
If it were me my questions would be,
At what point does Group B enter their NHL primes, and at what point does Group A leave theirs? How much of an overlap is there going to be?
If Group B does not enter their primes quick enough, would they be better off traded for something that complements Group A better?
If anyone from Group A leaves their primes right as Group B is hitting theirs, how much does that effect Group B's ability to contend considering the cap allocated to any one or a combo of them?
Can they add to both groups under the cap? Or should/do they need to pick one group or the other to make additions too even if that requires a subtraction from the other group?
If anyone from Group B fails to hit their perceived potential, do they have any other prospects/youth who could be considered part of that group?
I am not sure of the answers, or how they reconcile that, but to me that is sort of the crux of where they are at, and that is just the top 6 plausible forwards. The bottom 6 has a ton of question marks too.
