If they feel they can help the team up front and have a decent young group of d-men then they make the move.
A little off topic but am I the only one not that impressed with Reinhart, he is good player but is he top 5 pick good. Strong defensively but IMO got walked around by the top offensive prospects at both WJCs, and the memorial cup last year. He doesn't seem to drive much offensively on a good junior team (5th in d-men scoring for the Oil Kings). I think he hasn't developed as much as you'd like a 4th overall to develop, and if you can get another top 5 pick I might do it.

Those guys are under 25... but I don't know how many of them I'd actually call good. The Islanders give up goals like crazy.. some of that is awful goalies... but their defense is terrible.
