I doubt anyone would call Casey or Zellweger a depth defender...
I suspect they just don't have faith that Miromanov/Bean/Solovyov are good enough to be the six/seven guys as games get more important and into the playoffs if they make it. Plus if someone in the top five gets injured again like Bahl did, they know they'll struggle with two of those three guys having a regular shift...
They might be also chasing a young defensive prospect, but if they get their depth defender, it will more likely be a guy that plays as a regular 5/6 guy--someone like Pachal.
