You would hope they have the stud D in Larsson or maybe Sevs down the road if he isn't already on the way out. As far as the talent up front, they have $30 million or so in cap space, they don't need to sacrifice Cory to acquire forwards. And if you are gonna trade Cory then trade Greene/Cammi too, either go all in on rebuilding (which they really can't afford to do right now after four playoffless seasons going on five) or continue the process that got started last year in building around the core that's already here.
And the Bruins/Kings did build around defense first (whether it's via a stud D or a stud goalie is kind of irrelevant IMO) and acquired the forwards later.
I think it's very relevant. They don't win anything without Doughty.
And no offense to Lars (or Severson), but they are not "studs". Good/very good yes, but I mean guys who control games. The Keiths/Hedmans/Doughtys/Letangs of the world.
