Someone is always unhappy, and when our window of contention opens up again, we can grab another top pairing guy to bump our other players down the depth chart. And they'll get the favourable matchups as a result.

Thinking it is easy to 'grab a top pairing guy' or just 'dip into the trade market' to get good defenders is exactly how the Oilers ended up with the defensive core they have at this stage of their rebuild..... Would rather address that area sooner than later
