Honestly, I'd rather we stick with guys like Howden and Kampfer. They've been pretty good this year.
It's all about depth in case of injuries. Imagine your forward lineup before these trades with 3-4 of your guys out due to injuries. Do you still have the depth to ice a winning team?

Now imagine your forward lineup after these trades with 3-4 of your guys due to injuries. Suddenly your chances of winning and your lineup look a lot more solid. You can keep everybody in reasonable slots instead of having guys playing over their heads.
