I think it would take something that would sting to give up.
Like 6OA, our 2nd or Dallas's pick (whichever is higher), Jankowski and one of our top defensive prospects (Anderson, Kylington or Hickey)
People will gulp reading that, but for Jesse Puljujarvi, that likely doesn't even get it done.

I did't quantify that offering up the 2017 1st on top of #6 would get the trade done. But it would open up negotiations. And if the Hamilton trade proved anything, the insane overpayments a fan base can drum up is nothing near what it actually takes to get a trade done.
