I could easily see you being able to trade him for a player like Heidt alone at the deadline let alone adding a 2nd to him.

I think I could have got a 2nd, but I really doubt I would have got a prospect like Heidt at the deadline.
He's easily worth a 2nd and trending in the right direction. I could have looked to add another 2nd for just Bjorkstrand and cheese, but I have quite a few picks. So, I would rather have the player that could have a massive increase in value sooner than later.
Also, huge issue is there is half of the league that does not have anyone Heidt good and most the top teams already have 9 forwards 70+. Not many GMs will trade a top prospect for a 3rd/4th liner even with the cheese, especially the asset rich teams that also have stacked roster.
The asset poor teams always seem to have no picks or prosects to trade, I'd rather not wait and potentially hurt a top team as no way Jiri signs Bjorkstrand next summer, so he got a 2nd that probably is years away from making the league.
