Also, having offence from the blue line diversifies your offence. If all of your offence is tied up in two top lines, you become very easy to shut down.

Sure but you have to give to get. It's not like BT can package Frolik and Bennett and expect to get a 60-70 point forward back. And there are no more picks to trade. I just don't see what other pieces there are to get back first line talent.
Defense is supposed to be the strength of this team so subtracting from there makes the most sense.
And honestly, I don't think this team is even a two line threat up front at this moment. There is a clear upgrade needed in the top six.
