I know it is really early and all, but we definitely need to hold onto this pick just in case we do not have a good year. The team is extremely young upfront now, and if we were going to have a piss poor season, I wouldn't care as much in a shortened one.
It would be extremely interesting to see what Homer would do if we did struggle the entire year. I'm pretty sure Hartnell, Simmonds, possibly Voracek wouldn't be moved. Also Schenn's and Couts.
Briere at the deadline(of course if he agreed) would net you a good return probably. Also Kimmo would be wanted in high demand by the likes of Detroit or even Vancouver you would think. We could possibly end up with more than one first rounder, which would be a god send to help restore this franchise with prospects or making a deal for a stud defender.
Of course we could go on a run here and trade it for some scrub.
