The Utah/Iginla idea is what I want the most but I recognize it’s very unlikely in an Andersson trade.

But, ultimately, I would love for Conroy to use any combination of the following assets to acquire a top prospect from a team this year:

Andersson (50% retained)
Coleman (50% retained)
Kuzmenko (50% retained)
Mantha (50% retained)
Colorado’s 2nd round pick (from the Mangiapane trade)

I honestly don’t know if any combination of those assets could return a top prospect. Doubtful under normal circumstances. My hope is a team that’s desperate to make the playoffs after being in a rebuild for years is in a position where they are fighting for a playoff spot so they overpay for a defenceman like Andersson along with some scoring depth at forward (Coleman/Mantha/Kuzmenko).
