I'll tell you one thing I am excited for, watching McDonagh next season. We all know I am crazy high on him in general, but I think he is ready to take off on O next season as well. He will get a ton of PP time and he will create O. Led the team in playoff scoring. I think he is ready to explode into a top 5 or so dman in the NHL next season maybe just below the Doughty, Subban, Weber grouping. I expect a lot from him.

First off I already know Nashville would never make this trade, But how about Nash and Girardi for Shea Webber and Viktor Stalberg, trims our cap down so we can go after more unrestricted players and it gives us Webber who has a beast of a shot and is a physical menace on the back end. Stalberg would be another big body that could thrive in a more open system like he did in chicago.
Its a major move but one that could benefit both teams. Nash isnt a big market player...period.

what i think people are missing is that although Stastny may not be a true #1 he is definately an upgrade over Richards and solitifies the center postion

Yes for sure Al, we agree there. The only issue with Stastny will be his contract. I would say 6 years and a cap hit in the 7's (right now he has a cap hit of 6.6 mill per so he will get more). I don't see anyway it is less than that. Don't think he is worth that, especially considering he isn't a true # 1 as you said. Plus he doesn't add the size we need.
BUT on the flip side he is pretty young, 28.5 right now, and would make a very nice C combo with Stepan, think two very solid # 2 C's. Plus we wouldn't have to deal players to get him.
So I wouldn't be upset if we signed Stastny, but I would look at dealing for Spezza, Kesler, Thornton first IMO.

Sounds like Stastny is getting closer with the Avs, so a trade might be the only option for upgrading. Thornton and Nash are close so that could be a possibility, unless SJ feels their window is next year. Boyle left so they arent any stronger.

Yeah, the Avs said all along they wanted to keep Stastny, so no surprise.
As for SJ, yeah they want to win now, but they also want to mix it up a little due to all their failures in the playoffs year after year. So they are an interesting team to see how they approach this summer.
We should be looking at Thornton, Spezza, Kesler. See if we can deal for one of those guys. All add size as well. Would be nice to have them on this team.
