Somewhat rhetorical question here but what exactly differentiates a Seabrook from a Stone, other than Hossa, Toews, Sharp, and Kane? Both guys are sizey all-situation RHD with questionable skating and great point shots who played their best hockey with Keith or OEL/Brodie and were not great when away from those partners. Skillwise, what about Foote makes him more of a "Stone" than a "Seabrook" and why does that make him less enticing?

Depends on Suzuki's combine results. If he is 5'11+ I do it. If he is 5'9.5 or so I probably just let the chips fall into play as he seems like a good 2nd/3rd liner but not a gamebreaker like Keller last year.

Honestly, I am just hoping Liljegren falls to us though. Just feels right. Heck convert him to a RW if there's not fit on D.
