I wonder if Coronato + Honzek gets it done. That's 2 former mid-1sts for one high 1st. One is tracking well in the NHL now, the other has a lot of potential, size and speed.
Flames would make for a great trade partner for Anaheim - if Anaheim needs good vets, Flames have some. More lottery balls? Flames have that. Prospects with promise? Yep. Young players in the NHL? Yep.
I am sure there is a combination of players + picks that would close the deal IF MacTavish is truly available. It also depends on what his re-signing demands are as well. That would significantly curtail a package for him to the point that you simply give quantity over quality. You always have to consider the contracts - is he adamant about a short-term bridge deal in order to reach UFA quickly? A huge overpay on 8 years? Roster spot/playing demands like some UFA?
Screw it.. let's just bring in both MacTavish and Cozens. They fight in the locker room every morning for #1 C minutes for the rest of the year.
