Hamilton is your best bet at a first rounder. He's also just about the dumbest player you can trade.
Brodie doesn't get you a first, imo. But if you can ship him to, say, Buffalo for the 32nd pick and a 4th rounder, that's solid. Tough trade to make since I think he'll rebound under a competent coach, but (a) you want picks and (b) we need to start making room for our defensive prospects.
Trading Gaudreau at this point pretty much makes you the Oilers.
