Yup like Fire of Phoenix says, this is Treliving hedging his bets.
Grab someone off the waiver wire but still try to address the D via trade up to the deadline.
Recall that Sutter did something similar in 2009 where he picked Nycholat off waivers and the very next day traded for Leopold. Nycholat was the insurance if a trade for Leopold didn't materialize.
