I don't think we have to look outside the organization. I suppose if a team in cap trouble needs to dump a big, physical top 4 guy then we should consider that. If a team like the Sabres wanted to cut bait from a guy like Tyler Myers I think we should inquire. But outside of those unlikely scenarios I think we should be looking to give opportunity to our young D. Brodie has blossomed into a potential #2 defenseman IMO.

Brodie-Wideman
Giordano-????
Cundari/Breen/Smith/Butler/Sarich

I have to agree with Roof-Daddy yet again. We have 3 guys who are clear top 4 d-men and then 5 guys who are likely 5-7 guys. I think we can roll with that unless Feaster finds some great trade options.

Sarich was scratched for a lot of the early part of this season and could be dealt at the draft or at next years trade deadline if Feaster gets a reasonable offer for him and he's still willing to waive the NMC. Kind of surprised he wasn't dealt this deadline. If he stays he's a reasonable vet but I wouldn't want him holding anybody back.
