If they are looking at Fenton I think that makes it doubly as likely.

Top assets for trade IMO:

Staal
Spurgeon
Brodin
Dubnyk

to a lesser extent

Nino
Foligno
Coyle

But I don't think it's possible to do anything substantial with that roster with Parise and Suter there. Parise specifically is owed 32 million in cash over the next 4 years.

A buyout would mean having a 7+ - 8+ million buy cap hit in 5-8 years from now which is basically when one would assume a rebuild would be coming into form.

Horrendous.
