Kreider & Hayes will give you at best the COL 1st and Bowers + maybe a cond. 3rd rounder if Hayes is re-sing. That's it. You want the OTT 1st instead? You have to add your 2 best prospects: Andersson and Kravtsov. It's simple, OTT 1st is not on the market. If you want it, it's a CRAZY price that you have to pay.
Hayes at $6,5M/year is way too much. Turbo Teravainen just signed for $5,4M with CAR and I take Turbo on my team 100 times before taking Hayes... I would say $5,25M not much. don't re-sign Varlamov ($7,125M !!!! NOOOOO) and Ghetto. Trade them at the deadline for assets.
