Yeah, would suck if we have to part with a young forward to get a d but at least we would have the asset base in order to acquire a dman, instead of a bust prospect. Let's face it, the past two drafts haven't been good for dmen but let's hope our scouts have found a couple of players in Hickey and Rafikov. Always can supplement with some ncaa free agents too.

I agree. It worked out nice for us in 1988, at least short term.
