If they aren't content with solely going the FA route, who could they trade for? And who could they part with in that trade?

I think Orpik with Niskanen makes more sense (but it doesn't really matter). I would really be okay if they didn't trade Paul Martin, because the the more I think about it, the more I feel like he might have just been a talented guy who had a bad year. That said they HAVE TO get bigger and nastier on D RIGHT NOW!

I can't. Jason Garrison doesn't have the pedigree, but he's already proven to be significantly more physical than either of those two were in PHX and NJ resepctively.

Maybe not getting Suter would be the best possible scenario.
