I don't think the results over the next 2 months will change my opinion much.

I'm Ok with them picking up Dmen at fair market value, if they can help the team for at least 3-5 years.

Only trade a away players, if it is addition by subtraction (ex. trade away McGrattan so Jorris can stay with the team)

Only UFAs, if they are a bargain and there is a good chance of signing them or they are role players that come at a cheap price.

Ramo is an interesting one to me, I don't think he is in the teams plans Even if they make the playoffs, I don't think expectation are such that you have to carry two top goalies. Never hurts to have a strong backup but if you can fleece the Avs again I think you go for it.
