The last trade to save the season (Phaneuf) set the team back. If they are completing a major shakeup, it should be in the off season when they can better shop players to maximize the value coming back. I think Tre gives them until Xmas to see if they can't have a similar type of mid season run as last year, and if they are still struggling moves UFA's and perhaps Jankowski (if he doesn't manage to completely ruin his value) in a bit of a re-tool for next year.
The only save the season move that may be out there would be trying to pry Hall out of NJ now instead of at the deadline, and that would likely cost the team in the long run, unless he regains his MVP form and we can retain him beyond this year.
