I hope Treliving is very careful how he approaches the dealing away of our picks in the first couple of rounds. Teams that do this carve a huge hole in their system and start developing age gaps. Sutter did it with the Flames and it made rebuilding on the fly impossible. Young players stepping in and providing cap relief are the lifeblood to a team in the cap era. The team needs to be very careful of not developing an age gap where there is no youth to step in and support the stars, replace the stars, and provide cap relief.
