It'll be similar to what Nashville gave up for Turris. Picks (don't have any) prospects (meh).
What we should be discussing is if and how we'll move Versteeg, Brouwer and Stajan. And who replaces them.
Heck, finding a good backup goalie is more important than getting a top line forward.

Alright, so when Brad Trelving himself said that having a deep defense gives you the ability to trade from the most sought after/highest value position to fill other needs down the road he was just talking to hear himself talk?
Nobody is saying we need to do anything now, just that trading a D-man to bolster our offense may become a legitimate strategy to take a step into contender status if any prospects show they belong in the NHL (Kulak arguably already has and Anderson could easily do so as well down the road).
You brought up what we should be talking about, as the authority on that matter I guess. So what are your ideas on Vertseeg, Brouwer and Stajan? If they could trade Brouwer or Stajan for literally anything it would be done by now, that's a good start on that topic I guess.
