There's a macro time line and a micro. The micro is how you feel about this team this year. I don't like it. With that I'd prefer not to spend futures adding to it, but that's not to say you need to move guys with term in January when the market for those things come in June.

Agree with you Bingo.
Good reference would be 2016-17 Blues. They moved shattenkirk to nyr as they needed to get something. They went on to make playoffs despite trading him.
We are not asset rich enough to let Brodie and Hamonic walk for zip. Keeping them around just to make playoffs and get eliminated in a round or two is short sighted and could set the team back further.
The old one step back (trading #7/#24) two steps forward (obtaining futures/assets) applies here.
