This is accurate, but perhaps impractical. You can't trade 6 players at the deadline. Even if they narrow that down the chance of making a hockey trade goes down the closer you get to the deadline.
Finally, this team should be reasonably competitive as constructed. You and I may be fine with trading away the top line C and a top pairing D at the deadline when in a playoff position, but it is unlikely the casual fan, front office, and remaining players are okay with that. The latter group isn't discussed enough. Trading away your top players for prospects and picks while in a playoff spot is a sure fire way to tarnish your reputation with the players.
