Why do we have to trade for Stamkos now? If we weren't willing to pay the price for Johansen, then why would we go for Stamkos?
I'm pretty sure Olofsson are Reilly would get called up. I think the wild having 4 prospects at the wjc is pretty good for the worst prospect pool in the league.Wait what? If there is one thing I'll defend Fletcher on, that's all he's been doing since coming to Minnesota. Havlat, Kobasew, Setoguchi, Heatley, el Nino, Parise, Vanek, Pominville, Stewart, Moulsen...Fletcher has been desperately trying to get the offense this team needs.
The problem is (a) Minnesota has sucky scouts and (b) has terrible development.
We have one of the worst development programs in the NHL and one of the worst prospect systems right now. We can't afford to trade anyone in the top 4 because it ends up like this:
Suter - Spurgeon
Scandella - Dumba
PROSSER
Prosser would become the 5th defenseman. Oh look, Spurgeon is injured and now Prosser is our 4th defenseman.
We literally have razor thin depth.

Stamkos is also a way more polished player than RyJo. So the risk isnt nearly as high.
What about the risk of gutting your team/prospects/picks for one player who is a FA next year?
Ehhh. I view Brodin as a #2Dc if that makes sense. Him, Spurgeon, and Scandella are interchangeable.just like Brodin is our #5.
I'd do it if there was a contract in place for Stamkos. I'd definitely order a Stamkos jersey to go with my Heater jersey. Doubt Tampa goes for it though. If they wanted that much salary they'd just re-sign Stamkos.hmmmm. i guess we have to trade for stamkos now.

RNH has a lot more years left in his prime than Couture.
Dumba+Pominville+Tuch to the Oilers for RNH.
Oilers then flip Yak for another young RD.
