The Pens have a few interesting prospects and of course draft picks. We could use those things even though it would really suck to lose Russell. In my mind, the only guys that should be untouchable are those that are under 25, + Gio/Hudler. That's it.
Anyone wants to give a good offer for anyone else, Russell included, than I'd be all for it. Our drafting/scouting has been stellar for the past 4 years, so any picks/prospects that we'd acquire would likely be decent prospects moving forward. That said, it would have to be a top notch offer to entice us to move any of our guys. We are in a playoff race after all. It would take at least 2 top notch assets to move Russell, maybe another beyond that. It would depend entirely on what's being offered.
