A signed Engelland is probably worth 3 times more than anybody else we exposed. Plus VGK may be looking to corner the defenseman market for the next couple days leading up to the entry draft. They can literally control the trade market on defensemen for quite some time.

Duhatcheck had speculated they'd load up on goaltenders, but loading up on defensemen makes more sense.
