Sutter would have to be the centerpiece, but I'm not sure Calgary needs Sutter. I like Hudler instead of Sharp ... he is more productive, a bit younger and he doesn't cost close to 6 million per. He is the best option I see out there of a veteran presence possibly mentioned. Ericsson intrigues me a bit because his price wouldn't be high to acquire and he is gone after a year if he doesn't work out. - Oneonta Penguin
I could see them overvaluing Sutter, but Hudler is a very good player. They'd have to really overvalue Sutter to make this work.
We have a 2nd and 7th in this year's draft. I'm sure if Boston wants to trade his rights, it would be for a pick this year, not next. a 2nd is too much for rights and a 7th is too little. This scares me.

Maybe a 4th and 5th with the 4th being a conditional 2nd?

It would have to be done today, as the interview period begins tomorrow.
I seriously hope Rutherford wouldn't do that. He can legally talk to his agent tomorrow if he wants. - jfkst1
The only way you do that is if you are going to make an offer way above market value. It makes no sense for a player to sign a deal now. Sadly I can't say for sure Ruth will not do it, but I honestly doubt it.
Good thing there was left over cap space cud Soderberg needs about .5 more. Franson is about right or I'd pass on him. Besides that, that's a hell of a lineup. Wilson/Rust in for Kapanen though.
Also super excited that Tik may go wherever Plotnikov goes. One of those two, if not both, should successfully slot with Malkin. Wonder how a pure scorer would mesh with two defensively responsible, young, tenacious forecheckers. Makes me giddy. Also: finally some (frank)ing Tikhniov chatter!

That Oshie trade would be a steal. I definitely think Franson will cost more. Same with Soderberg, but the money would be there. That would be a great offseason.
