Does anyone else think that we have the depth on D to pull a trade similar to what Pitt did (twice) in trading a young D for a scoring F?

back in 09, Pitt traded Ryan Whitney to the Ducks for Chris Kunitz and Tangradi. Granted, Tangradi hasn't worked out, but Kunitz has been very good for them. While Whitney has not come close to posting the same numbers he was posting while with Pitt.

Then in 2011 they traded Goligoski to Dallas for Neal and Niskanen. Gogo has been OK for Dallas, whereas Neal has lit it up in Pitt.

Granted, both Kunitz and Neal have two of the better centers in the league to work with, but the point remains, are we at the point where we cna sacrifice a younger defenceman (lets use MDZ as an example) to get a solid goal scoring winger for one of the top 2 lines?

Thoughts?
