Exactly, teams that go to the WCF don't trade there best forward and an NHL 1st line defensemen for potential. Yakupov might be great, but we don't know for sure yet. If Phoenix missed the playoffs and were rebuilding, then maybe. Hanzel and OEL won't get traded, and if Yandle does, it will be part of a package for an established 1st line center.
