Yeah, but if Gunnar's not likely to come back, and Bortz seems to get injured every 10 games or so (I think he's overdue already), we'd have Butler in our top-6, and, if anyone else got injured as the playoffs progressed, then what? Schmaltz?

IMHO, a 6th round pick is probably worth an NHL-level defenseman, even as an 'insurance policy.'
