I like the idea of bringing in a fix now and trading from a position of strength if we do end up with a logjam. You're right about us possibly getting a highly touted guy this draft, but I don't want to see this group go without while the prospect develops. Needs to be ready for next year.That's fair. But one thing is that we will probably have a high pick and a chance at the lottery this year. If we get another Sanderson we could slowly fill out; but I get that we have a pretty solid team and might want to win now.
I think if we do go the route of trade I would rather someone like Chycrun or a younger guy, but probably so would every team.
I also like Chycrun, but the whole LD/RD thing makes me nervous and he won't come cheap. With Sandy and Chabot eating so much ice time on the left, Chycrun basically has to work on the right, which sounds like it didn't affect his underlying numbers positively when playing that side.
The whole Karlsson idea for me at least was predicated on him coming cheap, and the likelihood of Cat & Zub leaving, so it's a different story with his resurgence and SJ being able to expect a decent return.
