Almost zero chance they do it unless they can get a star in return but what team is going to do that when Panarin's going to free agency.
My guess is Panarin and Bobrovski will both be part of the run and then will become two of the biggest FA's this summer.

Is Colombus a contender though? Tampa, Toronto, Washington, Boston, Pittsburgh. Islanders and Habs are both playing great.
As a fan I think Id want assets back. As a player maybe you want those guys for the run but at the same time if you plan on being with the organization for the next few years then some assets back helps as well. If you lose those guys for nothing youre going all in for this season when your odds are terrible. Tough decision Im glad another organization has to make.
