For Stamkos I'm thinking he could be the offense version of David Savard along with a ton of playoff success (been there, got the t-shirt) for when Montreal makes the playoffs next year. For Utah, most of the Montreal D are an immediate upgrade over anyone on their roster. I'm thinking the Price dead money would be better spent on a serious offer to Guentzal.

Trade Cary Price's contract, one of the defense in the logjam, and maybe a draft pick to Utah for future considerations and use the new found cap room to get Jake Guentzal. I also wonder if the St Louis/Lecavalier factor to get Stamkos to come to Montreal for the right price if Tampa doesn't work out something.

I've seen Hutson play live. I think it would be in his best interests to stay at BU another year and get a little bigger.
