We need to find a defenseman who is worth 8 at 24, not 33 and build around that guy. Maybe it's Brodie. Maybe it the guy we trade Giordano for...

Isn't it also bad business to trade a 24 year old core defenseman who is worth $8M AAV for a 33 year old? Might want to adjust those expectations a smidge.
