Russell might garner a 2nd by himself, but considering the suitor I would try and add from the Calgary side in order to snag one of those firsts.
If it does come down to a 2nd, I would ask for a project player like Brian Ferlin back as the salary balancer. He's a big RW who looks to be a smart bottom six shutdown guy. Stajan as a RW (feistier Colborne?), with good hockey sense. He was injured in the preseason, and lost half a season of development.
I don't think high ceiling prospect is on the table for them. They seem to be playing the "win now at the NHL level, load up prospects for three years from now", game (after 6 top 60 picks last year). Prospects 23-24 years of age might be gettable.
