Over on the trade rumors page, NYR fans are sure hot to have us trade Miro for McDonaugh. Our board is resisting.
When you think about it, it will be nice to have a young, mobile D corps, with some size, all done by drafting or trading for high ranked draft picks.
Lindell (DAL 2) - Klingberg (DAL 5, our steal round)
Miro (DAL 1) - Johns (CHI 2)
Heatherington (CBJ 2) - Honka (Dal 1)
In a year or two, DAL might be recognized for D again, perhaps comparing with WPG and MN as teams who built their D via the draft. All solid, one or two All Stars, etc. And, the "handedness" seems to work well, as does the puck carrier/stay at home balance. Patyern and Methot spotted in situationally.
