Stillman's return?

A reader asked if there was any chance of getting Cory Stillman back in a trade seeing as he has played on the past two Stanley Cup champs?

A good question seeing as Tampa Bay did the same kind of thing with Vinny Prospal, and Prospal gave them last season an 80-point year. But Stillman had serious shoulder surgery before this season and is on injured reserve. Plus, even if Stillman was healthy, the price probably would be high given the impact he had on Carolina's season.

The same reader talked about the supporting cast perhaps being the problem with the power play. While that group is important (Eric Perrin, for example, has been a breath of fresh air and energy, Tampa Bay needs guys like Vinny 4, Brad Richards and Marty St. Louis to step up and get it done, both on the power play and 5-on-5. If they don't, the entire season will look like the first three games. I'm sure none of you want that.
