In terms of current roster players that I wouldn't be adverse to trading for "a real shot at winning a Cup," I would say:
- Jankowski (this hurts)
- Hathaway (also hurts, but less)
In terms of draft picks, I have no concerns about trading picks. I believe our picks aren't going to be very valuable over the next few years, and I personally subscribe to the idea of keeping picks while you suck, and they're high enough to help, but trading them when you don't suck and they can help you get over a specific hump.
In terms of prospects, I would say:
- A lot of them. Pretty much just "not Valimaki."

And we are confident that Bob is better than BSD?
I don't think he is. So we give up all that for a guy who won't play in the playoffs, barring injury?
No thanks
