Henrik Zetterberg- With a President's Trophy in sight, it would have to make sense. But, that doesn't mean he isn't available. With the space created in Myers and Howard though, there is no urgency to deal the career PPG player.

Alex Pietrangelo- In the last 10 years the HF's top 50, #1 player has NEVER busted. You may recognize the names Stamkos, Tavares, Crosby, Ovechkin, Malkin. He's currently in company with names like Hedman, Tavares, Duchene, Bogosian. Best of all, for a sim league he has not used any years of his ELC. STL will continue to be patient (as they did with EJ) in making sure that when they do start his ELC, he is a major factor. 3 years at 1,000,000ish will be much sweeter to enjoy when the ratings are good, unlike most ELCs where 2 years are wasted as the player gets a feel for the NHL.

TJ Galiardi- How many 19 year old are top 5 forwards in the NHL for PK time and still manage 40 points? Set in a place to thrive in Colorado he will have 3 years of ELC as well. He could be a cheap and great fit for any future top 9.

Ian Cole- Drafted 18th overall in the 07 draft. Cole is a big mean SOB who will consume STL PK in years to come. He's too good defensively not to be a top 4 Dmen and has shutdown ability.

Nathan Gerbe- a previous Hobey Baker winner, Gerbe continues to dominate at whatever level he plays. He's been a PPG professional and will soon claim his aire as the next Briere in Buffalo.

Jonathan Ericcson- Someone who Pierre McGuire called the aire to Lidstrom's top Defenseman title in Det has size, speed and everything teams look for. Babock will mold him into the future.

Kristopher Letang- Scoring the 3rd most points in the playoffs last year around the likes of:
Lidstrom-16
Gonchar-14
Letang-13
Rafalski-12
Seabrook-12
Neidermeyer-10

proved that he was in good company for a reason. He is still young and will continue to play with 2 of the most skilled players in history for many years to come.

I will only make a no trade list for a few players. The rest I'm somewhat open minded to:
-Toews
-Myers
-Eberle
-Kopitar




Michal Roszival- one year rental with good rates for cheap. Good depth guy for 2nd or 3rd pairing.
