I agree. My brain is already ticking off the list of guys this team might be willing to deal..
Obviously
Dubinsky
Callahan
Gaborik
Richards
Prust
Boyle
are not going anywhere
Girardi
Sauer
McDonagh
aren't going because they are our top 4 which would make any deal to improve the D counter-intuitive.
Rupp and Eminger as recent signings are unlikely to be dealt. I feel the same way about Feds because of his connection with Tortorella.
Wolski and Christensen have little to no trade value. Bell was just waived.
That leaves:
Zuccarello
Del Zotto
Anisimov (Hoping against)
as potential trade bait along with prospects/picks.
As it turns out, seems the Zug game did have an impact after all. It showed Torts that Bickel and Bell are not adequate stopgaps.
