Even if Samorukov is a solid trending prospect, which he isn't, his absolute upside isn't something that's a glaring need for the Oilers moving forward. If he does break in to the NHL, it's as a bottom pairing defenseman, which can be found on the FA market rather easily.
I've mentioned Zacha before and think he fits the mold of the player we should be targeting. You give up Samorukov and Maksimov in that deal if it's available. But odds are neither prospect moves the dial for them.
