IMO you deal him, get what you can and live with a top 6 of:
Hall-RNH-Eberle
Paajarvi-Gagner-Yakupov
Get bigger/tougher in the bottom 6 in the offseason and things start looking a whole lot better for this team going forward.
Some nice, tough, fast and hard hitting guys who can force the play down ice would really make a huge difference for sure. Having some big guys that will cycle and can play more effective minutes than our current bottom six and can also play a good back check are glaring holes right now.
