I'm betting nobody does, Waddel fails and Kovalchuck heads back to Russia next season.
Why would anyone be interested in Mara? Plus isn't there a unwritten rule that states you don't trade a player you just signed? ( Even if it's a 1 year deal )
I could definitely Mr. Gainey take a chance on a rental, specially with the kind of cannon fodder we can send the other way. ( D'Ago, SK, MaxPac, Price, Halak, etc... ) We aren't exactly short on players that aren't untouchable.
