I'd give up A LOT for Seguin. That being said, after the Kessel fiasco for the Leafs, I wouldn't include a 1st rounder as it is likely to be a lottery pick.
I'd be happy to do the rumoured, Backlund, Gaudreau + 2nd. I believe Boston is pretty high on Gaudreau and he would most likely be a part of the package.
For Serguin, I'd say our 2014 1st is the only untouchable. I'd part with Brodie or Sven for sure, but not both. Although I HIGHLY value both Brodie and Sven, it's not as likely they'll develop into impact players like Seguin is/will.
It's fun to daydream, but I highly doubt Boston is going to give up on Seguin unless there is much more going on behind the scenes (ie: he wants a trade, etc...). And realistically, if Seguin was available, Boston would make it known in order to start a bidding war, and unfortunately some other team would gladly give up more valuable assets than we have or can afford.
Who knows, maybe Johnny Hockey is the key to all this and we do have a leg up on other teams. One can dream!
