I don't think I trade any of our goalie prospects named Rittich, Gillies or Parsons. Smith is the best goalie we've been able to acquire since Kipper and he's only got a few years left in the tank. You gotta keep the three mentioned above and hope one of them can develop into a starter within the next few years.

Good goaltending has been difficult to find for our team so if we are going to trade we should use our organizational depth on defense to do so.

As it stands now what I feel the team needs most is to get more gritty and difficult to play against. Even adding just one guy in that mold to the 4th line would go a long way IMO.

To Buffalo: Brouwer, Wotherspoon, 3rd Rd pick
To Calgary: Girgensons, Moulson

Gaudreau-Monahan-Ferland
Tkachuk-Backlund-Frolik
Bennett-Jankowski-Jagr
Girgensons-Lazar-Hathaway

I have no clue if the above is a realistic proposal but it does seem like Calgary and Buffalo have something cooking and it doesn't seem like Tre to give up the assets required to get a pending UFA like Kane.

I doubt Brouwer actually goes anywhere given his NTC for this season but one could dream.
