If he gets a big piece going forward then I say do it. Even if we draft at six we don't have a guarantee they will be a #1 center or a top pairing D-man.
As much as I would like to see this team go the slow development route, I don't think I want to watch 3-5 seasons of bottom of the barrel hockey. I doubt if anyone here could actually stomach that whole-heartedly. If you can be more competitive sooner while still filling the same holes on the team that you would through the draft...do it.
