Bobby Ryan, Cody ceci for Dougie Hamilton and Micheal Frolik maybe?
Seems about even. Good shakeup trade imo.

IMO we should stand pat if we have inside sources that there is a good chance Tavares could be available in trade discussions soon or in a year from now.
Tavares on this team would put us on top. Him and EK together will be perfect core.
For now just make 1for1 trades or equivalent value trades (roster player plus prospect for slightly better/different roster player) until then.
I wouldn't even make a move yet until January. Except if it entails Bobby Ryan.
We'd have to gut the team for Tavares. I don't see it happening. Plus, you'd also have to make sure there is a new deal in place, otherwise you gut the team only to have him walk at the end of next season.

If you think we have a shot at JT, your dreaming
Thank the good lord we have saviours in white and brown.
If we offer Brown+White+Turris+1st.... who can provide better offer?
Legit top line C prospect, NHL ready top prospect in white, number 1B C in Turris and a 1st.
The only thing we need to be concerned about is his availability. Aside from that, I'd presume we'd definitely lead the charge for his services.
If we wanna keep Karlsson, a prime elite center is what it'll take.

UFAs this past summer
Grabber 1.6 million = 11G
Gagne .650 = 7G
All would have fit in with our budget... we need better pro scouts so we can get these guys and not the Kelly's and Pyatts.
Don't think we would need to gut the team at all.
Two of: Brown/White/Chlapik/Dahlen one of: Turris/Hoffman/Brassard and 1st round pick
People overrate prospects. The only thing we would lose is 1 or maybe 2 roster players but we would in return acquire a 26/27 year old top 5-7 center in the league.
Hoffman-Tavares-Stone
Dzingel-Brassard/Turris-(Ryan replacement)
Bottom 6
Methot-Karlsson
Chabot-Phaneuf
Jaros-Ceci
Yes pls
Reverse the roles and say we had Tavares. Would you the offer you presented?
Well I think that's why or how rkl would propose that trade. If he wants out.If Tavares becomes tradeable it will be because JT wants out or the Isles are burning it down. It won't be us asking for Tavares when the Isles don't want to trade him.
If the Isles dont want to trade him, the price will be insane.
If its JT wanting out or Isles burning it down, players of that calibre never go for as much as HF thinks.
Naw, i'd want Stone+Chabot+White+1st
I'm just hoping they take Turris instead of Stone.
So you want them to accept the offer centered around our older, significantly worse player who plays the exact same position.
Do you realize how dumb this sounds from their point of view? Tavares on the block could get them significantly better, NHL proven assets. Not a 27 year old 1B centre and futures.
That would be like them offering Hamonic + Barzal + Dal Colle + 1st for Karlsson.

Firstly, they would want to replace Tavares's position, they are trading a top 5-7 center in the league so obviously it isn't going to be anything close. What other team would offer better? I could think of SJ packaging Couture if Thornton leaves but will the be able to afford Tavares over Couture? Turris slows down the bleeding and White/Brown provide future talent to replace top line duties.
As long as we have Turris and Brassard as our top 2 centers we will not get noticeably better.
Get Hanzal, Get Simmonds = SC2017.
