I'd rather stick with the current defensive roster for 2014-2015 and, instead, pursue a solid defensive prospect that can help jump-start the re-build in a year or two, rather than waiting for 2015 & later defensive draft picks to develop. Ideally, I'd look at a prospect from another team that has solid defensive depth for the foreseeable future.
Madison Bowey would be ideal... I don't really know what the Caps would want in return; it probably wouldn't be cheap. But if the Flames are going to leverage the team's offensive depth, this is the direction that I'd like to see them go.
