My guess is Stajan at the deadline - depth forwards, especially defensively responsible centres, are coveted by playoff contenders around then.

Lack is another candidate, but that would require a team who has a less than stellar backup or an injury. And of course Eddie finding his game.

Confused by those who say Stone. He is not a UFA and while Hamonic is better I still don't see Stone going for anything less than a pretty hardcore overpayment (like recouping two 1sts +) considering he's freshly inked on a fair deal for the next 3 years.

It could still happen that some desperate contender GM who's top 4 RD goes down, for example, but I doubt it. Treliving doesn't seem that kind of GM to unclassily trade a just-signed familiar face. Nor do I expect Stone to regress to the point of letting two of our 2015 draftees, excluding Kulak, beat him out for a roster spot. Next season? Maybe, but really not seeing it for this one.
