Columbus would be asking for more then Russell or that deal would have been made without hesitation.
I assume they wanted either on of our Swedes or were trying to swing bigger deals for our big two Dmen (Brodie and Dougie). I don't think Treliving would want any part in that. I also think the deal has continued to change as the year progressed. It may have been possible that one of the Dmen plus one of the lower tier D prospects were close to value; but as CBJ started to sag, they were really only looking for long-term picks.
I'm up for both Drouin and Rychel. If you could add those two players; you'd have 5 picks from the 2013 draft .
For those that haven't seen Drouin play, he's elite. He's elite level offence. I do think that if Calgary managed to get him, they'd really need to start bulking up their RW side with some big boys. Drouin holds all the cards here; he can really make this situation ugly by not reporting even.
