Augustine and a 1st (Wings will pick higher than Florida) would have been enough and, yes, I'd do that. 

if the timeline for contention starts in the seider/raymond primes in 2 years then i dont trade for 30 year old seth jones now.  you'll be paying $7m per year for the downside of his career for 5 more years.

i know were all impatient for playoffs but i dont think yzerman is.  plus, they fetishize "captains" and "leaders" and jones strikes me as thr opposite of that in his demeanor.

if theyre going to move that pick, i think it will be for someone who matches their timeline, i.e.: someone in their early 20s.  like cozens.

Another GM would probably trade one of his valuable goalie prospects but Stevie has been so deliberate with his moves that I don’t see him rushing it.   I’d be surprised if he traded either one this year and maybe even next year too.

Goalies are so hard and he definitely doesn’t want to trade the wrong one.

And on the defensive side the Islanders are trying to move Noah Dobson and the Sabres are trying to move either Power or Byram (only one but it seems to keep changing so I'm not certain which one.)

Each one of these guys is in a cap crunch and their Org is down on them "just enough" to consider moving them. They all have some upside but I don't know what the deal is to grab one of them...

Two of them? That would be amazing.
