I'm OK with no upgrade, but insurance is absolutely necessary. An injury away from Gillies being called up who has been below replacement level in the AHL. They need to grab a decent AHL starter/NHL tweener.
If the talk on them trying to get a LHD is accurate, it would be ridiculous to spend assets on a 9th/10th defenceman with the logic that you are going to churn through Dmen in the playoffs and not have a passable third goalie to play backup if Smith gets hurt again.
