I think the 3 teams most likely to be looking to go into a 'retooling' type scenario are NJD, DET and PHX... either of these teams might be willing to trade a good D in exchange for a Top 3 pick... I guess DET is the least likely to do so as D is where they're looking for help, but they might make an aggressive play if they could land Seth Jones.
PHX has the most young D of the group, I think. I could see a dealing involving Yandle and the Oilers pick.
