Hawks moving Bolland to 2nd line has created a blackhole at 3rd line C
Not atm IMO. We need him more than anything even though he's been brutal in the top line. Unless we see Joey C ready for the bigs and Kadri playing the top line, as Grabo centers the second, I don't think we'll move him baring a major upgrade in the center area or prospect pool.
Kessel+1st for Stamkos
Grabovski for 1st
MacArthur for late 1st
Frattin for Bernier
Sign Perry in the off-season
Liles for another pick
Steckel for a pick
Hope Colborne and Ashton are NHL ready next season.
Lupul-Stamkos-JVR Another playmaker/scorer-Kadri-Perry
Kulemin-Bozak-Ashton
Komarov-McClement-Decent Scoring 4th liner

Close to the deadline if we`re 10th or worse in the East.
Trade Grabo, Bozak, Franson and CMac for whatever picks or prospects we can get.
Look at trading Gunnar if a team is willing to overpay and the team feels confident Ranger and Rielly will join the next fall.
Give Kadri and Frattin lots of ice time to finish the season to get them better prepared for the following season.
Finish the season off by giving whatever guys shown they`re earned it in Colborne, Ashton, Blacker, Holzer and Rielly.
Head into the draft and free agency stocked up on picks-prospects which we could trade some of and one of the few teams that can take on significant salary.
Last two spot candidates: Gunnarson (if not traded), Ranger (if inks), Kostka, Holzer, Fraser with one or two of Blacker, Percy, Finn panning out over the next few years.
looking at our team the past 2 games our youth and lack of skill is truly shining through... Blowing 2 goal leads is an obvious sign of immaturity.
Nonis has some HUGE decisions over the next 2 months... His phone will be ringing off the hook from teams wanting to pick our bones... IF we are out of it!
Time will tell but guys like MacA/Gunnar/Kulemin/Bozak will all be on the block IMO at the TD if we are close to the basement.

I don't see Bozak going, but MacA, Stecks, Grabbo, Kulie, Gunnar, Franson, Liles could all be shopped.

I definitely think he could be had. Pending UFA.
Gaustad got a 1st last season at deadline, so I think Bozak would be worth either a late 1st or a 2nd + 3rd. Something like that, or a specific prospect.
Apparently Bruce Garrioch is reporting that the Avs are quietly shopping Ryan O'Reilly. They want a young forward and a 2nd in return. Not sure how much of an insider Garrioch is.
