TB 1st 2020 (#29 overall)
PIT agrees... this one began as Ohman + a pile of futures for Svechnikov, then modified slightly to include Pysyk/Forsling so as to save Arizona some cap room.
It's a ton to give up, and it especially hurts to lose Robertson, who I feel is an absolute stud defensive d-man prospect and was really excited to draft last year. But we've been looking for this kind of offensive upgrade, and Svechnikov is exactly what I had in mind in a linemate for Hughes... a high-end sniper who fits in nicely with our core age-wise.
