My belief is that ownership would rather get a player back now that helps short term rather than going with the picks and prospect route.

Whereas I don't think the options are mutually exclusive. When we traded Joe Nieuwendyk, we acquired a player designed to help immediately (Millen) and a prospect expected to help in the future (Iginla). Ownership would certainly want something to help now. But I don't think that implies they would do so at the exclusion of planning for the future.
