What Would Marty Reasoner Cost?

The Atlanta Thrashers sit 14th in the Eastern Conference with a 23-34-6 record and 188 goals for and 221 goals against (-33).Marty Reasoner, a pending unrestricted free agent and former Oiler, currently sits at +6. According to Behind the Net, he's playing tough but not elite competition, and getting solid results. Here are his main numbers:
2.44 GFON/60
1.93 GAON/60
1.68 PTS/60
Those are solid results, especially given the situation. No other Thrasher is even close to Reasoner's 1.93 GAON/60.
On top of that, Reasoner's an elite penalty-killer, a good faceoff option, and by all accounts a character guy. Those three things could all be of use to the Oilers at this juncture.
Today, Don Waddell said that he was looking for young players rather than draft picks in exchange for his veterans. How about Bryan Lerg (apparently on the outs with the organization) straight across? Rob Schremp?

I don't like Schremp and I don't think he'll ever make the Oilers, but a straight across for Reasoner almost feels like overpayment.

Makes you wonder if we won't do it just to save Lowe face.

Rob Schremp and a 3rd round pick for Marty Reasoner and a 2nd round pick, then. Or Rob Schremp and Steve Staios for Marty Reasoner and Niklas Havelid.
Admittedly, it isn't likely, but there are some bodies in the AHL that could be sent to ATL without me even thinking twice.

Apparently Lou's thinking Havelid's an asset too. He's gone to NJ for another younger defender from the land of cell phones.

He has Reasoner set at the 13-16 min level which historically nets something like a B-list prospect and a 2nd as the high end value.
For us I'd guess that looks something like Wild and a 2nd or Schremp and a 2nd. Anyway, it's an interesting read:

Nice trade by the Devils. Havelid's a gamer.

Ideal deadline move: Tim Sestito for Josef Melichar
Needs: 3rd Line center to move Cogliano far far away from the dot. He doesn't have to be right-handed, because in Project Oiler, everyone has a name, his name is Kyle Brodziak. His name is Kyle Brodziak. His name is Kyle Brodziak.
Steven Reinprecht, Marty Reasoner, Jeff Halpern, Doug Weight, and Dominic Moore all fit the bill.
Ideal deadline move: Schremp plus a 2nd for anyone on the list.
Needs: Backup goalie, veteran.
Weekes fits.

I tried to watch this on the weekend with the new girlfriend. I still don't know how the movie ends. Damn couches.
