Actually they are. They have a surplus of upcoming defenseman, and trading G. Reinhart won't really hurt them that much. You're right about them not having defensive talent, but they certainly will in a couple of years when their new D has more NHL experience.
The Vanek trade hurt them, and giving up Reinhart to gain their draft positioning back might be worth it.
