Trying to jump start the rebuild or what? Top teams have depth that make them superior to their competitors. That depth is found through the investment they make in drafting and developing their own talent. Giving up three top end prospects, proven or not, is a very questionable move for a team trying to improve and become a contender.
No #### they would. Any team in the NHL would. What insight.  |
Is this for real? Every team in the NHL would make that trade. This isn't fast tracking the rebuild. Acquiring a 23 year old number one defenseman would be a huge benefit for the rebuild. The guy will probably win a Norris someday. Not to mention getting him without giving up one player from your team except for the 7th d man.
In the end it doesn't matter because there's no way that package gets you OEL anyways
