I just don't see Philly as a trade partner. Many pick PHA because the prevailing belief is that JG wants to play there. Why should CGY care where JG wants to play if it is not in CGY?
Also, why would PHA want JG? I think they are in "win now" mode, but if they miss the playoffs this year, then I think they'll want to move the likes of Giroux, Vorocek, Hayes, or JVR - core, cultural, shift - like what we think CGY needs. I don't think PHA moves anyone under 25 in the off season - especially TK.
I still think NJD are the team to target - loaded with young centres, not quite ready for "win now" yet, could use a talented winger to help bring out the dynamics in Huges/Hirschiser, and losing a few vets to UFA this year.
Zacha + first + one of Zeuterlund/schnarr/studenic
