It's going to be a trade that we all hate but needs to he done. It has to be a D-man with value (Ghule, Reinbacher, Mailloux or Hutson). Doesn't have to be this offseason, could be in 2 years when we are more competitive. Then we know what kind of top 6 forward we need to help us compete.With what players? Harris? Barron? We aren't getting a top 6 player from that, not to mention that the bottom 6 will already be crowded with Roy/Dvorak/Anderson/Gallagher/Evans/Armia
Romanov was traded for the 13th overall pick and currently we have 4 D-man who could potentially net more.
