If we are in a playoff position at trade deadline or just out, do we stay the course with what we have or do we trade away some of the vets like Glencross (if he waves) for draft picks and or young talent?

Reason why I ask this is that the youth have stepped up through all these injuries and proven they are NHLers. I think most can agree we aren't quite there to compete past the first round even if we were to sneak into the playoffs. So is it better to go with the youth and if we make the playoffs fine we just consider it experience for the youth rather than see the vets out there who won't be part of the future? Do we get what we can out of trades to continue the rebuild which would maybe serve us better down the road?

If this is being discussed elsewhere miss can close the thread.
