Even the top guys in this draft are only thought to be really good 2nd line centers so people have to be careful not to over-value the 5th overall pick.
Maybe hudler, wideman (50% salary retained), and 2 x 2nd round picks.

It's not that I don't believe that he doesen't have a place in the organization, but with Sven, JG, Granlund all being small and all have to play in the top 6 to be effective, someone has to go. Especially if you add there Hudler, Byron and if we re-sign Cammy. That is way to small. If we can trade Sven to get another skilled forward that is bigger, that is a good deal. Like I said above, in terms of talent, between Sven and Dal Colle, there isn't much of a drop off (that said, my evaluation of Dal Colle are from YT videos and scouting reports). Essentially, Sven for bigger Sven.
We only really lose Hudler, IMO. However, I think NYI can get a better package elsewhere, but Snow is an idiot so who knows...
