I think that could be the strategy at this point.

Go with what we have to see how chemistry works, measure successes, see if the young players develop into anything special that can have an impact or become decent trade bait, and determine any areas of need. Then make the necessary moves at TDL or before to fill any voids (injuries, attitudes, etc...) or areas of need to prepare for the POs.

Perhaps we'll be in a better position to knab a guy like Sexton without giving up as many assets as we would have to now and maybe other teams will be in more desperate situations to give up higher caliber players at lower prices.
