So it comes down to acquisition cost. I would be totally comfortable moving players like Kylington and Sam as the key parts of a deal.
I would prefer not to deal the 1st for this year, Valimaki, or Dube.

The cost of acquisition will definitely make us all squirm, but if the pay off is a trip to the final it will feel worth it to me. Up until this year I was a wait and see kind of a guy, but this is the right time. The cupboard are bare, we have the picks, we could make the cap space. As long as they don't trade Valimaki, or both of their next two 1st round picks I will be okay with it. Even if that means goodbye to a guy like Dube.
