You put two top 3 defensemen on that team and have the forwards commit to a 2 way game and the team would be competing for a playoff spot (7-10 in the standings).

If Edmonton wants 2 top 3 defensemen then Hall or Hopkins or their first round pick is on the way out of town.
And that team still would have terrible center and bottom 6 problems.
They're not as close as your stating.
