if you can play a fish properly I would assume you can use a 2wt to get salmon to shore...in theory only issue would be the damage done to the fish after a 4 hour fight,,
i only do that if im keeping the fish
 
If it was me, I'd get a 7wt or even an 8wt for bass and steelhead (and salmon and pike) to ensure I could cast the larger flies and have enough backbone for the larger fish. Then I would get an 8.5ft 5 wt for the resident trout, panfish and smaller bass. I think this would provide a more useful and enjoyable tool in each situation.

The trout rod would not have to be a Sage as there are many choices for the lighter rod as they do not need to be so stiff.

I would also suggest you look at a Redington CPX which is designed by Sage but built overseas. I have 15 rods and two of them (7st & 9wt) are CPX and they are among my favourites for comfort and quality.
 
I've decided. Im getting a 2/3 wt sage vantage 7ft rod. I've been fishing with light tackle lately and it makes fishing so much more enjoyable.
