I don;t think you are getting Pietrangelo and Berglund, much less with Backes.

Not looking for both Pietrangelo and Berglund its one or the other..Backes is a differnt player than Boyes...I would take Backes over Boyes and he is I think we need...his grit and skill would be great for the 2nd line....Peitrangleo is also expendable with their depth on the blueline and could be an entice piece for Murray....

Are we trading them Spezza as well?

I dont think they'd give Peitrangelo strait up. Heatley just isnt someone they'd want.

Depends on your strategy, if you want Backes it means you take a 2nd line center for Heater and Kovalev takes his spot. If you take Boyes it means you take a 1st line winger and Kovalev goes to the 2nd line.

FOr Heatley, they will give Backes/Boyes, and Eller (who IMO could score 40 poitns next year as a rookie) and a 1st, and that's already wishful thinking IMO.
