Some GM's (Oilers) might salivate at trading the farm for it, but do you guys think Brad is really going to mortgage our future and or trade away big assets for someone like this? He hasn't been fleeced on a trade yet, in most cases we've come out calling him a WIZARD so let's take a deep breath and let it play itself out.
Arguably the only "fleecing" I can see so far is the 2nd rounder for Lazar, and even then I think it was a 50/50 shot (at the time) it would have worked out but it clearly didn't.
Kane has some intangibles that I think could fit with the current group, however IF we do trade for him we cant be signing him to a big contract, nothing more than 2-3 years.

I'm not sure, however the current forward group lacks serious offense....
With Versteeg gone, an element from the power play is missing.
I believe he has to acquire a skilled winger.....
