They wouldn't pay a top prospect + a 1st for him. He still has 10 M salary until 2015-2016 and 8.5 the year after. No way a budget team takes him until 2017-2018.
What I'm saying is just as ridiculous as people thinking the end of the world was coming because we lost Prust for a couple of weeks or claiming that Prust was the reason for the Rangers' first place success last year.
He's a key part of the team, don't get me wrong, but some of the drama on this board when he got injured, God, it was as though we lost Crosby, Malkin, Neal and Letang all in one game.
