My guess is they are aggressive in a trade for a top 4 dman in the ilk of Andersson.
And I think they also go for more of a "like for like" trade where they move a young forward prospect for a young d-man prospect (looking at a team like NJ that has Nemec, Hughes, Casey, Silayev etc)
I do wonder if Ferraro is a guy that could stay if they take strides this year. Seems like he actually kind of fits with what they would need to replace if they do move him.
