It would seem like Tampa might be willing to take a combiation of vets and futures. Steve Y seems to always like to replenish futures but the team might want to make a playoff run while they still have this team together as well. I think the Flames could offer that in a decent package. The idea of giving up our 1st this year scares me though. I'd be hesitant to do that. If the price starts getting high maybe were better off not rolling the dice and using those assets to go after someone with a bit more certainty or a cheaper asking price. Its a tough call because Drouin is still so young with so much potential but at the same time there is definitely some risk.
