So you're going to trade away yet another decent pick (likely a 1st), a prospect (you take out basically all of ours, so who's going) and Callahan, who can return surely, a decent grouping of picks and prospects for a 38 year old man.
I'm not saying we're moving anyone, I"m saying, like was said above me, it's not impossible to build around a good core while sacrificing older players on there way out for younger picks and prospects.
It's not a full on tank job by any means, it's called smart asset management. The good teams that are consisntely competative always do this. Miller comes up, replaces Callahan, Callahan traded for picks and prospects. Those picks and prospects come up and hopefully replace Nash, Hags, etc in a couple years. Trade them for other guys, etc.
It's actually somewhat simple, just longer term and not a quick fix.
Teams are businesses, they are LONG TERM investments. Have you ever heard of short term investments that have returns which are insanely high, because that's a farce. The rangers have been in the business of short term fixes since Sather took over and it has netted us one fantastic ECF appearance.
