IMO...Dubas saying Kapanen and Sandin aren't available served only one purpose...to let other GM's know they will be expensive to include in a deal.
If Sandin turns into anything close to Parayko I think that's an absolute best case scenario...but far from being a probability. I'll always take a known quantity in Parayko over a lottery ticket...25yr old RHD that can step right into 1st pairing? That's worth Sandin, Kapanen and the 1st without hesitation for me.
