It will sting if they get swept. I'm not sure how they "loaded up" though.
Jesse Gabrielle is a decent 17 yr old but was a third liner at best with all the talented players Brandon has coming up. Getting Klimchuk for him straight up in order to make a run isn't a trade that Brandon will regret. It's a trade that contending teams make every year.
In late September, they traded Pankewicz, Lindgren and Kitt for traded for Duke and Erkamps. Duke was easily the best player in that deal and Erkamps gave them a RH shot on D that they needed and was solid. The three they gave up are dime a dozen players. No loss there.
They traded a conditional 5th for Reid Gow. That's a nothing move.
Those are the only trades they've made this year where they acquired a player. They are going to be a juggernaut for the next 3-4 years minimum.
