No they weren't. They had plenty of guys to call up. But they thought doing that would be giving up on the playoffs. It's more of the same constant half measures across the board.
They did call them up.
Attard 12g, Belpedio 12g, Ginning 9g.

They traded for Johnson only b/c they were short 3 D-men (Walker, Seeler and Risto).

They had several AHL d-men they could have called up, but sure. They HAD NO CHOICE but to trade a pick for a rental JJ. That's definitely what rebuilding teams do.
There was a bunch of guys on waivers they could’ve claimed if they just wanted bodies.

Jacob Moevare had just been signed to an extension upon being waived.
