Acquiring Kuemper + Hall for a 1st, and then addings picks and prospects from trading Gaudreau at the draft would be some wise asset management.

By trading Johnny if Hall signs, what does that say to Hall and the Team? I think it says were not serious about winning. Hall scares me. Will want big money is often injured. If it happens, I think they are better to keep Johnny and Hall on LW, move Chucky to RW. Cut some cap (Ryan/Rittich) and get one of the available goalies. The thing about trading Dave is the condensed schedule goalies will need a break if they pay 5-6 m for one you need a cheap back up which puts us back to the days of not trusting the backups.
