When you get a young elite goalie like Wolf you don't just trade him hoping you can draft an elite center though.
The only exception would be if you either already have an elite goalie who isn't going anywhere anytime soon or you have another young elite goalie which would be rare.

You work with the hand you are dealt of course, but statistically it hasn't worked out when this happens is what the data is saying. Now if we trade Coleman, Andersson and maybe even someone else to sink enough to draft a 1C...things change, because they look like they already have the elite D in the pipe.
