Why? If Wright was a projected #1C of super star calibre then maybe yes. He's not. McKenzie has said that most scouts have his upside as a 2nd line center in the NHL. That means that he's probably not reaching that level during his ELC, let alone the first year of it at 19 years old.
Like I said, f*** everything that "helps us" 5 years down the line. You worry about the next season and next season only. It's extremely hard to win a cup in the NHL. Next year is the best chance for another one before MacK extension and Byrams first proper contract kicks in.
I don't think Girard or Newhook are untouchable, quite the contrary. But if you move them you better get back a solid player that helps you in the quest for a repeat.
