I'm trying to understand why the assets were spent on a defenseman when acquiring a top 6 scoring RW seemed a more immediate need.

I think we'd be much better.

the point is actually that the team needed both, and depending on how you're looking at it, they needed both in equal measure.
In my opinion the team is actually lacking 2 middle six players that can score.
I think they thought going into this season that Bennett and jagr could get them an extra ~40 goals, but if course that hasn't come close to happening.
As it stands the team will probably finish 30 goals or so from the top 10 in the league when all is said and done. Basically, missing an elite first line scorer or 2 good middle six scorers.
