This all makes perfect sense, still - given that Price and Weber are going nowhere - MTL doesn't look like they have a choice but pry their way back into contender status within the next year or so. And since the forward corps is about to peak and d-mens take more time to pan out, they should consider trading picks for a young top 4 LD (mid-20's max) before next season starts. Let's say MTL trades for Klefbom, would the team become an obvious contender a la TB or WIN? No. But who would have guessed at season opener last year that cup finalists would be VGK and WSH? As long as you're in the playoffs, there's a chance. Judging by his actions, that's how MB seems to think anyway.
