Thank you Sniper, that's what I've been saying. Our first line doesn't cut it. We need a top line RW and then a center.
I agree with this - I know I have harped on the idea of trading for ROR, but I think that only works if we move out a C like Strome in return. I don't think shipping the #5 OA as part of the package for ROR is a good idea b/c we are widening the holes on our roster at wing while upgrading at C. Unless there is a plan to move Keller to the right permanently and move Dvorak to the left side.
RW is the best position to look into trading either a prospect or pick for.
We all know how hard it is to get a 1C, and it would gut our team if we trade for one. Getting a top line RW would be much easy and less expensive to get. Who do you have in mind?
Granlund? MIN probably does not trade him. The #5 OA would be a great starting point for that type of deal, but I think MIN would be hurting at RW and we don't want to include either Panik or Fischer in return.
Coyle? I think that our best option is something like Crouse and a 2019 2nd round pick. That may not be the best offer MIN receives, but I would start to feel uncomfortable about including a player like Domi or Perlini in there.
Tarasenko? Again, probably giving up #5 and something significant, so may be the hardest player to get.
Stone? Assumes no ill effects from injury and willingness to sign long-term.
Atkinson? May not be worth the #5 OA and CBJ needs to add something.
Voracek?
Mantha? Does he fall into a similar category as Coyle where we can offer Crouse and a 2nd round pick, but it feels like either that price is not enough or if we start to get uncomfortable offering a better prospect/player in return?
Armia? Crouse and a 2nd could work there, but again, if available, I see that being a mediocre offer relative to other teams.
