"...Schultz is respected around the NHL, but with four more years at $3.6 million annually, it won't be easy to trade him.
The Wild might have to seriously consider trading Burns, but only if the price back includes significant pieces like that long-coveted center or top-six winger..."
I don't suppose any package with Stafford + pick/prospect could get Brent Burns. Roy or Connolly would work, but then we'd need another top two center, and I highly doubt one would be available at a manageable price.
Ideas???
Stafford + 3rd from Atlanta would probably do it. He's coming off two injury riddled seasons, and a year where he was a -15 on a pretty decent Minnesota team...question I ask is...how much better is he than what we already have in our system?
