Danger! Danger!
This is the classic Feaster trap. Don't swing for the fences with one sexy deal. This deal would be bad news. Perron may be available as well as Clutterbuck. Put these two into your line-up through reasonable combinations of draft (maybe lose one of your later picks in round 1 like 22 or 28) and throw Johnny Hockey out there and get these two WITHOUT losing #6. Bruins are baiting you Jay. Would you rather have Monaghan , Perron, Clutterbuck and still have a late first round pick or would you prefer a high risk game of chance with the Bruins? I am OK with any trade involving Johnny Hockey only because I don't think he is coming here anyway! The "Aw shucks! I just want to play one more year with my little brother" ain't cutting it with me. He is an enomormous flight risk.
You have it right Jay! Stay on task. Get younger and tougher at the same time. I like the deal with Colorado and these guys would start to build the right kind of team to complete.
