I just can't see them moving any of the important pieces for post-CBA. Comrie was also considered part of that blueprint, but unforeseen circumstances...that horse has been beat to death.
For Lowe, it might come down to this: A Horcoff for Brind-Amour deal WILL improve the team for next season, but what can Brind'Amour give the team after the CBA. He could very well be 35 and have a good season or two left. Horcoff quite possibly could be with the team for another decade if the CBA sets up a cap and the NHL is operated under a different economic umbrella.
While most teams in the higher economic tier of the league would make this deal in a second, Edmonton would surprise the hell out of me (in a wonderful way) if they did.
