You always have to be open to the idea of improving your hockey team.
If you can get a 22-24 year old Dman who is coming into his own, then you have to look at the deal.
I've seen Simon Despres name floated around if the penguins were looking for help to replace Dupuis.
Others have suggested Brandon Gromely, Tyler Myers, Jared Tinordi, or Nathan Beaulieu.

I think if you can get a guy like that for an aseet like Glencross + B prospect (Reinhart) then you certainly have to look at it as it makes your team better now and in the future.

I would like to retain all the guys that have stuck with big team so far, Poirier, and all our picks in the first 2 rounds.
Beyond that I think any other assets are fair game if they improve your team in the long run.
