Hayes is not that guy.
I think you trade from a position on strength on D looking at the guys with expiring deals to make room for the young guys. Use those assents to improve up front. Trading top 6 forwards, an area we have a shortage, does not make sense.

Agreed very tough to acquire the elite, but I think when looking to fill the need you have to look at style of play. Monahan is a good player but he isn't somebody that can manage a game. Johnny needs help, he needs somebody that can carry the puck up, can gain the o-zone, can draw in defenders to generate space.
Not saying we can acquire this guy or that we should, but an example that quickly comes to mind of a player who isn't elite but is effective at this is Kreji.
