Maybe a low end draft pick or a mid-level prospect. Torres hasn't played all year and so his trade value would likely be lower than normal.
I know it sounds very counter-intuitive, and that the Canucks probably should be doing the EXACT OPPOSITE (i.e. getting younger, re-tooling, etc.), but seriously..............
Erhoff and Torres were pretty solid pieces for us in 2011, and 2011 wasn't all that long ago.
If you had a chance to re-assemble that 2011 team.......a.k.a. one of the greatest teams ever assembled.........then fuck it......why WOULDN'T someone want to go that route?
Even if I'm being ridiculous here, I'd seriously offer Horvat and Shinkaruk for Erhoff, Hodgson, and whatever else that would make the deal fair (I'm guessing that Buffalo would have do give something else on there end).
Sounds nuts, but seriouly.........why not? Why not go this route if the opportunity was there?
