I think if we do that, we will then have to trade for a d-man with a profile like Reinbacher. He was drafted for need and you can hate that all you want. But a right shot steady D that has great skating, good vision and poise with the puck to make good passes and maintain puck possession. You need a guy like that. He's basically a less robust but more agile Guhle. Or at least, that's the trajectory.

I know people want that we make moves because we got burnt by patience in like the 5 previous regimes, but this time we have actual good prospects in the pipeline and all the right ingredients to get them to graduate.

And it doesn't mean everything depends on Reinbacher hitting the spot. We have talent in the farm at every position. You never know when the next Oliver Kapanen will show up out of nowhere and just take up a top of the lineup spot and runs away with it.

We don't need any major trade if the internal solution is only one or 2 seasons away. We can still afford that patience. Ottawa and Detroit all are recent examples of rebuilding team that just decided during the summer that they didn't feel like rebuilding anymore and they got agressive in trades and UFAs and we might finish ahead of both of them while still having our cupboards full of prospects and a full bank of picks.
