it it were Brodie straight up, i'd pull that trigger today...
but its more likely a guy like Pageau, whom i'd be happy with, as i believe we need an upgrade to the bottom 6. Byron would be a nice add too
yes, the top 6 could use help too, but only if you are willing to pay a hefty price.

Hoffman will not command that much IMO. There is actually some noise from Ottawa that they aren't particularly happy with him and are looking to move him.

The 1st round picks get that get moved at the deadline are late 1st rounders. I'm fairly comfortable in saying:
Andersson > late 1st round pick
Valimaki > late 1st round pick
Fox > late 1st round pick
Kylington > late 1st round pick
Also, Jon Gillies very much fits the modern mold for starting goalies. I do believe he's having a solid season in the AHL and even leads the league in shutouts. He has value, but goalies are hard to peg down.
Dillon Dube is also a pick who I think is worth more today than what he was worth last summer. His performance at the WJC likely has his stock higher than most 2nd round picks from last year.
We've got the assets, we just need to pick our acquisition carefully. In my eyes, none of the players listed above should be moved for a rental.

Valimaki went 15th and his stock has risen since - mid 1st
at worst now
Fox is worth a mid 1st as well IMO.
Andersson is NHL-ready, and IMO that should be worth more than a late 1st (and apparently teams have been asking about him)
Kylington is probably worth a late 1st - maybe a bit less (though I wouldn't trade him for less, that's for sure)
