So if we're not dealing a big name off our roster, who is playing with Sid next year?
I have to imagine that's pretty damn high on the list of things to address for the next GM.
I see everyone agreeing Sid needs more help, but also saying we can't deal Martin b/c he's too important to the blue line, Letang won't return enough due to injuries, Neal is part of the core, Maatta needs to be a building block and we should keep Sutter.
I mean, you're not getting the legit upgrade Sid deserves at this point of his career without dealing something you don't want to.
And as much as people are underrating this free agency class, there are only 2nd/3rd liners and stopgaps.
You're exactly right. And thats why we should trade Neal for a group of players that also gives us cap space. Something like Silfverberg, Etem, 1st rounder. Silfverberg takes Neal's spot and Etem fits in the bottom six. Then you have the cap space for Crosbys right wing. Callahan?
