I think there's a balance. If you can make good trades, you can do anything in this league, no matter what assets you're bringing in or sending out.

I have no picks for the next two years. I also have — in my opinion — the single best group of defensemen in the entire league. That, to me, holds far more value, especially given how the vast majority of them are RFA-aged and cost-controlled.

If you're trading 1sts for Tobi Rieder or Duncan Keith, then yeah, you're gonna have a hard time. But there's also ways to do it where you can come out ahead.
