Rebuilding teams generally have a solid top 5 of prospects. If you can’t give a high 2nd one of those for an established top 4 defenseman (assumed signed long-term), then you don’t get to have that player.
At some point you’ve got to start utilizing your prospect cupboard and draft capital, because not all prospects pan out the way you want them too. Yes, you’ll hit the home run here and there.
