If it also includes lottery items, great. But it has to include a top line C, RW or top 2 Dman.
Otherwise the team is worse.

OK, so RW's from teams that would be in JG's wheel house, because let's be honest, despite there being no trade protection for Johnny, teams are going to know if they actually have a real shot at extending him or not:
PHI - Voracek
PHI - Konecny
NYR - Buchnevich
CAR - Terravainen
CAR - Necas
NJD - Palmieri
NJD - Gusev
BOS - Pasternak
BOS - Debrusk
NYI - Eberle
NYI - Bailey
WAS - Oshie
WAS - Wilson
BUF - Reinhart
CLB - Atkinson
CLB - Bjorkstrand
CLB - Anderson
PIT - Rust
Not seeing very many realistic options there. Seems like a true top line RW might be as big of a white whale for this club as a true #1C
