Depth is what makes franchises successful, and you’re suggesting dumping a lot of depth to address minor needs on the NHL roster. To me, that’s very short sighted and exactly why franchises fail to find success in the NHL.

You're such an alarmist. I just suggested a bunch of 2nd rate pieces for a goalie with legitimate starting potential (something this team sorely lacks and that would certainly solidify our future in net) and a player with two straight 60 point campaigns (he would immediately become our third best offensive player).
What depth are you actually worried about losing in those trades? From my recollection you dont even like hamonic, so losing him shouldn't hurt too bad. Bennett and janko are garbage compared to nylander, gillies isn't even close to saros, and the 1st + dube+ kylington are longshots to hold a job in the nhl at this point. Our depth would be relatively untouched (if anything the addition of nylander fortifies the depth in our top 9 an overwhelming amount.)
Those trades aren't even enough for the pieces I was seeking. Both are likely rejected easily by the opposing team. Take off the homer glasses.
