Jay Feaster and now Treliving have literally spent the last seven years turning the prospect pool into something that can feed the parent club. It used to be abysmal. I seriously doubt that that would decimate the minor and developmental leagues in order to bring in someone even as great as Karlsson.
If we do make a play for a big fish, it's main piece going back would be an NHL player. Even a medium fish like Hoffman, it will be an NHL player going back as the headline.
For this reason I think that Karlsson is out of reach, but Hoffman isn't.
