I'm thinking of players like Victor Soderstrom or even Jiricek. Build the D corps with young defensemen that can play today.

Why? Players have the most value at the deadline and picks have the most value at the draft. Sell who you can, load up on picks, and then go shopping at the draft if an opportunity presents itself. It also allows us to know exactly who is available with those picks. Say we get a pick around 20-25 and Iginla is available, you take him. Or maybe there’s a big drop in tiers so instead we move that pick in a trade for Jiricek. It wouldn’t make sense to spend assets on players right now that would only hurt our own draft position.
