<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jmpoho</b></div><div>For sure, ideally would have them both gone.

*without giving up any draft pick. They'd be receiving the mid-rounder too, but still think it would take more to take on Kempny given where he's at this stage

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kylonetic8</b></div><div>A non contending team should want a cheap 1 year guy for a mid pick. What have they got to lose? He's gone at the end of the year and you get a pick. Hagelin has 2 years left and is more expensive.

I mean if we had our dream off season, obviously they're both gone.</div></div>
