The way things are shaping up and if they continue to go well (i.e.: competing for first in the division) I think it is more likely that they move picks opposed to roster players.
He barely gets in the lineup as it as right now and we still have Stone and Mackey. You are essentially giving up your 3LW + 6/7D for a 2RW. Both Dube and Valimaki could take a step, but it looks like they could both use a change of scenery. As for next year you can always sign a UFA, or give a chance to Mackey.
