Then I want that insane GM in Calgary.
A first round pick for one of the best centers in the league? I absolutely trade our 15th overall pick for him.
There are teams that have traded First Round picks for 2 months of Mike Fisher, Craig Rivet, Paul Gaustad, Dustin Penner, Olli Jokinen..
In this draft, I'd trade up to a 5th overall for at least one season of Stamkos.
And then, perhaps he's sold on the city and team through those 10 months enough, to re-sign. But if not, the trade would not be a loss, to be able to add a player of that dynamic for an entire season.
