This is about the next several years, rather than the next couple of months.

What if Arizona doesn't make it after getting Hall? What if all the teams making deadline deals for rentals don't win the Cup or fail to make it? Oh wait, that happens all the time. Brodie is like getting a rental D without paying to acquire one. You want to handicap the team greatly for what? At best two 2nds? How many 2nd rnd picks every draft become regular NHL players? What kind of message are you sending to the team? Oh sorry guys, we know it is a tight race and all of our division rivals have been buyers but too bad for you, we are selling because we are not going to give you that chance. Congrats, start the rebuild.
