Personally, I'd love to basically swap one of our blue chip defense prospects for a blue chip forward prospect and very soon. I think we could nail a legit top line winger out of a trade as d-men are so much more valuable in a trade.
When you get to the point of having three incredible D-prospects, AND one of the best D-cores in the NHL for years to come, I think you forget about the fact that the D prospect you trade may become a great NHL and address an area of need when you've already spent so many assets on trying to win in the next few years.
Don't go half way, or even three quarters, do everything you can to make the team a contender now. Deal from strength, address a weakness.
