You can do it any time. I am not saying to trade them for veterans. Trade them for draft picks or younger prospects.
For example, there is a diminishing chance that a forward not playing in the NHL at 23 years of age will ever become a full-time NHLer. If we have prospects approaching that age that would potentially make another team but is far down the call-up list for us, it's in both parties best interests to move on.
