Okay, but if we are talking about adding a top 6 RW, and we traded Anderson for Kapanen (which is what is being proposed), what are you trading for the top flight RW? Suddenly we have already gotten rid of our closest NHL D prospect, so we are now looking at moving one of our Roster D? Who fills that hole that is created? Kylington and Villamaki are pretty much untested at the NHL level. Expecting either of those guys to plug that hole is far too hopeful in my opinion. Fox to me is found money at this point, money that might not be worth anything to this organization if he walks after college. Keep Anderson, Trade Fox and one of Stone or Brodie. That is, unless Hamilton is one of the unnamed players that Brad T took exception with in the Post Season Presser. If so, leverage him for all hes worth and promote from within.
