IMO, at least one of the 2 or 3 pieces we get back will have top potential. Late 1st, blue chip prospect, top 6 forward. Otherwise there's no point.

I have a feeling we're just having an issue with semantics here. When I said a good (not great) prospect I mean it's unlikely any teams top 2 or 3 prospects are going to be in the deal. The Pens, for example, probably won't give up Bennett or Morrow. Boston probably won't give up Hamilton or Subban. Spooner might be a reach as well. You're more likely to get a prospect like Maata or Khoklachev (sp?) instead. Those two would still be head and shoulders above the majority of players in our system, but I wouldn't call them "blue-chip" prospects.
