It’s more likely you’ll get better value now, like right ####ing now when a team is staring a playoff race / berth in the face and see a high quality player like Lindholm available. This is the time a team will say “#### it, give them that extra pick / better prospect”.

You trade now you’re getting 1sts, 2nds, A prospects. You wait for draft you’re getting worse quality assets. This is basic asset management. Teams are desperate and want to win a cup not in the summer when they don’t know what they are next year yet. The fact these guys have another year on their deals makes them all the more valuable.

You need to blow it up / start making good deals yesterday. This season is done. Start trading.
The wait for summer is based on the premise that they aren’t trading core guys for futures because they aren’t rebuilding
So changes are more than likely player for player trades
And those deals happen in the off season
Unless you think that something will change in the next 10 days where all of a sudden the organization decides to rebuild
I don’t see it.
