The biggest issue is that in order to get him we basically just put ourselves in the same situation the leafs are in. 4-5 top end Forwards, all getting paid and we would be having to fill the hole left by a retiring/declining Gio (at some point) and we would be cash strapped to do it.
All we would accomplish is switching situations with the leafs because they wouldn't move him to us without a young stud D man being included.
Just don't see the long term cap fit.
