ROR would be the best fit, but he’d cost the most. In the case that we traded for him, Fabbri would likely be involved. After the deal, I think we’d probably go after Kovalchuk to fill that void on the left side(RHS). If not him, we’d need to trade for a Silfverberg type guy to go in our middle 6.
Something along the lines of
Schwartz-O’Reilly-Schenn
Kovalchuk-Thomas-Tarasenko
Steen-Berglund-Kyrou
Barbashev-Brodziak-Soshnikov/Jaskin
or
Steen-O’Reilly-Tarasenko
Schwartz-Schenn-Kyrou
Berglund-Thomas-Silfverberg
That’s a roster full of scoring and two way play, which would appeal to most fans.
I would love Kessel though, and I think in that case, we’d just throw our winger depth in the faces of the UFA centers. There’s no way Stastny wouldn’t have his best year with the Blues with Fabbri and Kessel on his wings. That and they wouldn’t even be the first line. Everyone also thought he’d bring back more in his last trade, and TOR retained too.
