Smith has 11G 28P in 38gp...60pt pace and 4th most TOI among their forwards.
Stephenson has 10G 35p in 37gp and most TOI for Fs.
They are 1 and 2 in points for the team right now...though both Stone and Patches are PPG+ with half as many games.
Marchessault is probably a more likely bet...March contract was front loaded so he'd be appealing to a lot of teams (3.5$ vs. 5M AAV for 2 more years). 18G 26P in 33gp...they could recover some decent assets with him.
They'd probably prefer to move Dadonov, but he's backloaded cashwise and half as productive.
