Everyone but Sven and Brodie, in terms of roster players, should be on the table.

You get 2 top ten picks this year and that's more valuable than any 28-30 year old player who won't have any part of this team when we get it where we want it to be in several years.

Do it. I'd offer them Giordano, 22, and our 3rd. Keep in mind that they're in a far, far better position in terms of talent up front than us (Staal, Staal, Skinner, Semin, Ruutu), and with an improved D-core, they'll be a one and done in the basement ranks. If they're eyeing a d-man like Pulock, Morrissey, Bowey, Morin, who could be had at 22, then I think there's actually a deal to be made there. You pull the trigger on that 10/10.
