My reference to Boyes is that his value was that of a 2nd rounder. I think we have that equivalent in roster player (Stajan comes to mind) and I think Boyes is an upgrade over Stajan. Langkow as from many sources and critics fan opinions say is not likely to be back this year, if ever.

Sturm has a cap hit of 3.5m to Modin's 1.2. I'd rather pay a 13th forward position 2.3 mil less for unreliable production, but HEY. What do I know about money and expectations?
Boyes is an upgrade over Stajan, but what are you going to do to get Boyes? He has a cap hit of 4m, so we still need to unload someone, PREFERABLY Stajan and that's not happening at this trade deadline, if ever. As for Langkow, only fans speculate on his injury return, because it's very unbecoming of organizations or anyone in official standing to comment on such a topic so candidly that he would not return, so I fixed that part of your post for ya.
