Keep in mind how hard it is to get a top line center - just ask Brian Burke. D-Men, even great ones, are more of a commodity.

Perfect example...

The Kings traded Jack Johnson for a hurt, bad in the dressing room, overpaid, underperforming, cap-heavy Jeff Carter.
A case could be made that Jack Johnson is on par with Yandle. Jordan Staal, on the other hand, is a much better acquisition than Jeff Carter.
And while the Kings are about to win the Cup, when that trade was announced, their fans screamed bloody murder.
