I didn't mean it in that way, I was more talking about the fans of teams than GM's. But in a particular trade between GM's, yeah I guess it only takes two. Although, you could have three or four GM's covet your particular player, and putting them in a bidding war might get tricky. In any case it's not easy.
Salary Cap: 2014-15 Roster-building Thread X : Looking for wingers... Anyone?

If FLA is looking to get anything more than a late pick for him, I think they'll have to - and even then they wouldn't be getting all that much in return. But I wouldn't mind taking a flying on him.
I actually think he would be, and would absolutely fill a need if Letang was traded. That said, I think it's incredibly unrealistic to think that a top D would not have a team like Edmonton that's been desperate for D on his NTC list.
Depends. But Minny, Detroit, Dallas, Anaheim and Vancouver are all teams that could likely use some assistance on the blueline. Tampa, STL and CHI are teams that have a lot of F prospects and might under the right circumstances trade one of them for a D prospect. Edmonton is desperately looking to upgrade it's center depth. I doubt any of our D's would be all that attractive to them (at least the ones that are not likely to block a trade there).
So there's a few options out there. Or at least there should be, depending on what JR is willing to move.

Why would Edmonton do this?! They don't want picks. They want a 2nd line center, or D-men!

Quote from Darren Dreger, courtesy of http://www.nicholsonhockey.com/worthreading/2014/11/23/the-frustration-tracker-nhl-insiders-on-the-edmonton-oilers
David Perron is obvious. But what are you getting, with all due respect to David Perron, in return? You’re getting something, but you’re probably not getting a No. 2 centre, which they desperately need.
On what David Perron might fetch via trade:
“Well, and see that’s the problem. The ask is for a top line centre and top line can be No. 2. We know that’s what the Oilers need. They’re not going to move Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and he’s been terrific for the most part. David Perron is not bringing back a No. 2 centre. He’s not. So you’ve got to sweeten that pot considerably. Time left on contract can be problematic. All of those things.
-------
Reading this, I'm wondering if the Pens can eke out a bit more from EDM by shipping them Sutter, who for the Oilers can definitely play a 2C role.
Maybe we can add Dumo or a pick, or both, and get them to throw in a Yakupov for Malkin?

This. Edmonton needs bodies that can contribute right away. They want to continue to improve, and that's not going to happen with picks. If Martin had some term left and didn't have a NTC (or would waive it), he would be a very attractive piece for them, and him and Sutter are exactly what they need. However Martin would be an extremely unlikely target for Edmonton.

So they could flip assets or just draft a player to help there future.
It really is, I would take some time off HF, but then I would miss all the rumors and etc.
.I agree, but like I said above they could flip assets, or just full on tank it out.

huh?
I mean throw in a Yakupov to play on Malkin's line. LOL.
(countrymen and all, in place of Kulemin)
(Also, that was my own quote, the thing about Yakupov)

LeBrun on NHL trade scene: "Talks are really picking up. For sure." I do sense intensity has picked up communication between teams.

Darren Dreger:
“But then you move down another rung on the ladder and you find names like Jordan Eberle. I think that there’s a good chance that Jordan Eberle could be in play, but what is the rate of return? And then you go to maybe Justin Schultz or a Nail Yakupov. What is the level of return? That is the problem area for Craig MacTavish. Because the return that he’s getting, at least in conversation, isn’t going to be substantive enough for him to go, ‘Okay, I’m going to move Jordan Eberle.’ Or ‘I’m going to move Justin Schultz just because I need a centre.’ He’s going to get quality back if he’s giving quality, so this may take some time.â€
Seems from this quote, that Yakupov isn't as highly thought of as Eberle. Maybe we can pry him away easier, along with Perron for Sutter/+

LeBrun: I don't think there's anything imminent, but I'd be shocked if #Pens didn't acquire a top-six winger by the trade deadline.

... Sounds kinda sad. The way he words it, makes it seem so distant.
