I don't think this is a bad idea at all. Our first line is really the Breadman/AA/Kane line. If you have a fourth line of Desi/Moose/Tootoo...and third line of like Hinostroza/Kruger/Hoss....you are then maybe looking at Schmaltz/Toews/Panik as line two. Or Motte in there too. Always have the trade deadline to upgrade the Toews line. With our d improving and having Crawford....we should be fine.

Two skaters who haven't done anything yet in the Show with a steady top-tier center - may be good if you're in development mode - probably not if you're looking to contend.
Trade deadline - is there enough left in the system that would get you a possible winger for Toews - and would you really want to further deplete the system to puck up another "maybe"?
To me, looking at a TDL - or any other point in the season - move to "upgrade" any position is foolish.
