I honestly think McPhee is doing the right thing and Vegas will be fine.

Hard to say - McPhee is a smart GM. He certainly will understand that he's going to require many young AHL bodies in addition to NHL talent in order to build a solid organization that doesn't flounder for 10 years.
I would wager that many of the NHL level players drafted today may not even end up on the final roster in a month or two after trades and other movement has transpired.
