Kylington? Andersson? I'd probably be most hesitant to move Andersson, but would still do it. You can only be so patient before you need to swing big - and with relative few (yet important) holes in the lineup, I think Landeskog presents a rare perfect match situation.
2017 as a weak draft year - put in the 1st and 2nd round picks alongside one of the four defensive prospects and then another mid level prospect...is that enough? It seems to be in line with the rumoured asking price.
Then you can turn focus to a veteran #4 d-man on a short term deal this summer and once again take a stab at resolving the goalie situation.

I am with you 100%. I would gladly part with a combination of our best prospects and our first to get Landeskog. He is a long term piece and a winger that plays a gritty game. One of Tkachuk, Landeskog, or Gaudreau shifts to RW.
