Doesn't mean trading a promising 20 year old powerforward for Giordano is the right move though, especially since the Islanders probably aren't quite close enough yet to try to take that step.

You trade second tier youngsters with lower upside, like Casey Cizikas, Krill Kabanov, Josh Bailey or David Ullstrom to add veteran leadership.
You don't trade your #1 prospect when you are building with youth, to add a 29 or 30 yr old.
