Crazy idea:
Step 1.
Rent Taylor Hall at the deadline for some pretty good NHL-ready youngsters (Johnsson, Brown, 1st round pick) to help the Devils shepherd Hischier/Bratt/Butcher (I'd also LMAO if all it cost was Zaitsev one-for-one). Honestly not sure what it'd cost, but we've got cost controlled assets at the right age range for their budget team. We can handle the cap hit with all the space we've banked with Nylander out.
Step 2.
Hall - Matthews - Nylander
Step 3.
Stanley Cup
Step 4.
Trade Hall at the draft to recoup the spend to hire him as a mercenary in his prime. Maybe he wants to go home to Calgary to ride out his UFA platform season.
