PIT agrees. I figure a player like Kisakov easily goes in the middle of the 1st round of a draft if he were in it, but he was originally a 4th rounder before the double boost, he's already 22 and unfortunately I don't have much room to develop him. If I were unable to find decent value for him I was going to try my best, but definitely easier for a rebuilding team to give him that ice time. So, all things considered, happy to get a 1st rounder back even if it'll be a very late one.

I need top 6 talent in the near and long term. Kisakov goes directly into the lineup to develop. I had 9 or 10 first round picks, and Kisakov is a relative bargain at that late pick.
