Me too, I think we have enough depth to replace MDZ, replacing Stepan will be a lot harder.

I heard this kid Erixon has some skills.

But I dont think Howson wants defense.

Supposedly he is looking for NHL or NHL-ready forwards that can score. That makes sense given they have Wisniewski, Tyutin and Jack Johnson under contract for the next several seasons. They also just signed Aucoin and extended Nikita Nikitin. The last spot should go to a young player like David Savard or John Moore.

Thats a conflict of interests because were looking for that ourselves, and cant afford to be giving that up.

That's why it's apparent Howson is insisting on Stepan. It stands to reason Stepan and Dubi, with the ice time they could expect in Columbus, could combine for 40 - 45 goals and 100 - 110 points.

Do you think if we replace Step with Hags and add one more prospect or draft pick it could work?

Incarcerated Bob is spewing poop again. Apparently he tweeted that the Rangers traded MDZ, AA, Dubi, 2nd for Nash..

While Twitter is great for giving us quick update on things, it also allows for trash like this to exist. Some people will post anything for hits.

No. Hagelin is a nice player but his upside is probably that of a third-liner that can sometimes play up and a 50-point scorer. Stepan, in the opinion of many, could one day soon approach point-per-game levels.
