I am all for upgrading on him. I just don't know who would amount to an upgrade right now. Again, I like the idea of experimenting with Bailey, Martin, Grabner, etc. They may do better...or possibly not. Either way it is not as much of a no brainer to move Boyes off of JT's line.

MAYBE.....try Ullstrom there if he has a good game.

If it is in the next two years it should come from outside the organization. It pretty much has to because I don't see a legit physical yet skilled plug in yet. Martin might grow into that... Nino is supposed to some day... Maybe one of the others... Maybe, maybe, maybe. Too many maybes for me. The smart GM trades for this piece, and it is a wing, not a center or defenseman. This IS doable. But we all know why they haven't yet. $$$
