he's the wrong fit because as of right now, we are more than just an Eric Staal away from a stanley cup.
I'm not sacrificing Aberg, Arvidsson, Fiala, Salomaki, Kamenev, Trenin, etc...fora guy thats not going to be here after the season. I'd rather swap some of these assets for top notch 20 something year old guys. Johansen, RNH (for the right price), Duchene, Couture, Kuznetsov, Galchenyuk, Strome. You get my point.
And for God's sake if we're trading another 1st rounder it better be for a Johansen or Duchene...not Staal....AS A RENTAL.
Most of the guys you mentioned aren't even close to be considered on the trade block.. that's the problem. These guys rarely become available but when they do, they are going to cost you an arm and a leg.
If we are unprepared to separate with what it will take to get Staal, I don't think we are in a position to go after any of those guys either.
