Create space for Valimaki, Fox, Kylington and Andersson. Kylington, I still think, is going to be a hidden star for us.

That would only work if those guys are 100% ready to step into a top4 role, which I highly doubt any of them are at this point in their careers. And to be quite honest, I just can't see management trading away any of our NHL defensemen right now. It took them a long time to put this group together, they're not just going to disband them.
With the amount of almost ready NHL defensive prospects we have, I would rather the team trade those guys for some help up front. The remaining d prospects will be given the Kulak treatment - slowly but surely given opportunities in the NHL.
