Just like Merz was their netminder of the future?
You know centers make great wingers right?
And with your argument they have no need for Roslo anyway
How is that an argument against Tarasov? Because Elvis hasn't worked out they should abandon Tarasov for some other unproven prospect?
You know they have like 12 NHL capable wingers already? Gaudreau, Laine, Chinakhov, Marchenko, Texier, Robinson, Danforth, Bemstrom, Foudy, Olivier, Meyer and TFW. Not to mention they could always decide to bump Rosie, Boone, Johnson or all three out to the wing if they end up with Bedard/Fantilli, Johnson, Sillinger, Boone, Rosie, Voronkov and Kuraly on the roster next year.
Yeah, they definitely could afford to look at trading Rosie now. Even if they don't get Bedard or Fantilli they could still have a top 9 of Johnson, Sillinger and Voronkov. What they don't need is another project forward prospect that is probably not going to turn into anything.
