I could see Dube rather than Zary, but not Mang.
I’d even be more inclined to have it be Tkachuk and just draft picks. Tkachuk + ‘21 1st + ‘22 1st + ‘21 2nd would be cool to see. At this stage Buffalo has to be thinking of Wright/Bedard, so that could be pretty enticing. Sign Tkachuk long-term and give him the “C”, and then just have oodles of top-end prospects.

Something that caught my ear is Versteeg has said, twice over the past two weeks I believe, on his hit on the morning show is that we would look to move Gaudreau (doesn't believe the Sutter-Gaudreau relationship will work out over the course of a full season) and Mangiapane to bring in a C.
I was hoping the guys would have pressed him a bit as to which center he thinks would be a fit. but he did say he didn't think those two would get you a 1A C, but a 1B or a 2. It was a bit loose and not specific so you would have to listen to it (I would have to listen to it again) but he has definitely said he would move JG for a center and package Mangiapane as well if need be.
