This doesn't really make any sense to me. Especially with this being a weak draft I feel like we'd be lucky to get a 20 goal scorer with the 10th pick which Baer already is. I don't know much about Pysyk but his stats are similar to Tanevs so I'm going to assume he is a shutdown defenceman as well but for the few extra points he brings I don't see it worth trading Tanev who is considered one of the best shutdown defensemen in the league.
Am I missing something? 

Just that we'd be getting younger and potentially more skilled with 2 top 10 picks. I think people are talking this "weak draft" thing too far. OK so there's no McDavid.... so don't do deals to rebuild this team?

So were Phil Housley, Brian Rafalski, and Kimmo Timonen. And they were all great defenseman. That argument is stupid.

We already have Subban and Stecher.

Pysyk is 25, Baer is 24. I just don't understand trading Baer at this point. He's still pretty young. Tanev is 27 so not much older than Pysyk. 
I personally don't think it's worth the risk of losing Baer.

I don't see where Baer fits into the future top 6 though.... Bo, (some future C), Granlund, Goldy, Jake, Boeser.... its already full without Baer and Dahlen is coming at some point. If we can move him to pick up a puck moving D at this years draft I think its worth it.
