If the mandate is to make the playoffs next year then why would you trade JBo? His trade leaves a glaring hole on the blue line that can't be replaced with any of our current prospects. Unless you believe Brodie can step up and take his place or you can find someone on the UFA, trade market, or draft, the trade doesn't make much sense.
They try to find every synonym possible other than rebuild just so they can tell everyone "No, we're not rebuilding" and here's the proof.....we only traded away 2 of our core players when it really should have included at least 1 more.
