Gallagher/Kristo are damn good prospects.
Those 2 2nds are in a very deep draft and depending on how both Calgary and Montreal do COULD be top 40 picks. Can either draft them as is, or use them and other assets to move up.
The path to creating a consistent contender is not overpaying for established players.
And again, Anaheim wants to save money in the whole deal...so Plekanec wouldn't interest them since he makes about the same as Ryan.

Ryans a 25 year old power forward who has been a consistent 30-35 goal scorer, gallagher or kristo not both You've got to give to get, and I have no idea where the value is or not, but this is just me spit balling. We'd be rolling on the wings for years with two powerforwards
