Giving up ANY assets for Gonchar would be a bad idea.

Eh, a 4th - 7th rd pick wouldn't be the end of the world. I'd rather see the young guys get a chance first, but it would be tough in a shortened season to ease guys in.

I'm all for it...
Don't get wrapped up in the 50 player contract max. Shero will work out a trade if he wants Gonch. Not a big deal...

Pump the brakes on the Gonchar rumors. Comes from same guy that had 71 off to LA. Pens also at 50 contract max, so trades have to be even. Pens also have 6 D on 1way deals, plus 2 more that would have to clear waivers, PLUS Despres
