You've got some solid ideas here, but this creates a hole on our top 4 LHD. Suter might not ever be the player he once was with the injury he had last season so trading away Brodin and forcing Seeler to be in your top 4 is not smart. Seeler is a fine 3rd pairing guy but he has only played 22 games in the NHL, and while it's a cliche I think there's some truth that it takes 300 games in the NHL to develop a defenseman. You'd have to move one of your forwards to fill the void that trading Brodin creates. I'm not sure if you know this, but Skinner has had a lot of head injuries, he could be one hit away from never playing in the NHL again which really scares me. I'd rather trade Nino for something else (like a right shot forward or a LHD in this case). You also traded our only right shot top 6 forward away (Charlie Coyle), with this team 11 (!!!!!!) of our 12 forwards are left handed, which can really cause problems on the power play. I like that we've got some young talent coming back in Bratt, but there are still some holes that can be fixed by targeting some different guys with your trades.
