Trading at "any cost" is ridiculous. As usual we under value our guys then think that guys like PLD and Laine would be "superstars" here for some reason. You might think Jet and Columbus fans think the same way about their guys and muse about trading their problems and getting a "Gaudreau" . Grass is always greener on the oher side of the hill as they say.

There is definitely more than one way to win a cup but teams like this are the exception not the norm. And they usually have other elite factors. A Chara in his prime for example.
