Do we really think a late 2nd rounder is worth enough as an asset that we pick up Dumba and jam the blueline with a player we don't want/need who will only take playing time away from a rotating youngster?

If you get a first then I'm for it. But a late second? At some point the whole 'weaponizing cap space' and its return has to be weighed against what you lose by cluttering your roster.
