Eastside's Hockey Elite Collide

To San Jose:
Sami Vatanen (61)
Kirill Marchenko (76)

To Colorado:
Kailer Yamamoto (70)
Hugo Styf (71)

Colorado accepts. Just got Vatanen recently and I hadn't planned to move Marchenko, but for me it's worth it to land a young stud in Yamamoto. He's a big building block for my top 6, much more so than the 30-year-old Vatanen, and will probably centre my top line. Marchenko is a very well-rounded youngster but was limited to my fourth line. Styf is a stiff but another fringe D prospect to add to my deep pipeline.

Aye. Yamamoto had a couple of good seasons but lost his top 6 spot to Carter (for good reason) and I have cheaper options for the bottom 6. Marchenko should be a useful middle-6, waiver-ineligible winger with a cheap QO and Vatanen is affordable depth who can play wing and D (and sit on the bench if he slumps).
