No, I wouldn’t do Lindholm, Hanifin, Coronato and a 1st.
The whole point of acquiring Eichel, for me, is to give the core you’ve assembled a legitimate shot with a top tier centre.
Not to disassemble them and start anew with a different franchise player.
Eichel, Lindholm, Gaudreau, at minimum- I’d prefer to keep Tkachuk, but if he’s required to make it happen, then I’m good keeping Mangiapane and Dube.
I don’t care as much about the prospects - Zary and Pelletier are 12-24 months away from taking a regular shift, never mind being impact players that Darryl trusts in high stakes situations.
Coronato would suck to lose, but if it gets you the C you’ve lacked since Nieuwendyk, so be it.
Plus a 1st this year? Fine. It’ll be somewhere between 20 and 32. Ditto next year.
But you can’t have arguably our best D, our best C under contract for two more years, our best prospect and a 1st this year.
Vegas isn’t offering you that.
