I would look into dealing Stepan/Miller/Fast for Thornton and then use Brassard/Moore/Lindberg as the others.
Why would you give up all that for Thornton? I wish you were a GM on a team I was going against, I would love to fleece you....
I would not deal Stepan for 35 year old Thornton. And I darn sure wouldn't deal Stepan AND Miller AND Fast.
Maybe Fast is adding too much but I don't see Stepan and Miller as being alot for a guy with 3-4 good years left.
Agree to disagree on that one sc. Stepan is a 55-60 point guy. I wouldn't deal him at 24 for Thornton let alone include others.
I don't know, I was just disappointed in Stepan this season but maybe he looks better next year. Brassard could handle the #2 and then you'd just need to find a #3 which is doable and maybe you have in Lindberg already.
