Back again, someone asked what we think if you restricted it to picks and prospects, honestly I don't know what Nonis would do but my personal opinion is not to do the deal.
We aren't going to contend for a couple years(at least) anyways, by then Gorges will not be as effective for us and with his big contract remaining I would rather spend my money elsewhere. Pretty much Franson and a prospect not named Finn, Nylander, Granberg, Biggs, Gauthier or better known as prospects that project to be a 4th liner at best. Not because Gorges is terrible but he isn't what we need right now. We need someone that will fit in with our age group.
The only good getting Gorges now would be that he can play with Rielly and Gardiner and they can have the same steadfast partner to develop with like Subban did. Unless that is Nonis' plan I think it is a trade best not to happen.
Someone also said they you guys are looking for forwards in return, with us I don't think we have anyone tradeable in this sort of deal. Our forwards are either really valuable or just trash, you wouldn't want anyone outside of our top 6 and we wouldn't want to give anyone up other than Clarkson who isn't really a top 6 guy lol.
Anyways, thanks for your responses! Hopefully for both our sakes this deal doesn't happen...unless we fleece you
Happy offseason, good luck(sort of).
Edit: I guess Lupul but that would probably rely heavily on us making a splash for someone like Stastny/Moulson July 1st. I wouldn't want Lupul playing against us, every ex leaf seems to come back and haunt us no matter how good or bad they are.
