But star midfielder Rory Sloane is off limits to opposition clubs.
As punishment for their involvement in the Kurt Tippett contract scandal the Crows did not participate in both the first and third rounds of the 2012 NAB AFL Draft.
The Crows also lost their first and second round draft picks in this year's draft as part of the sanctions.
Sanderson said the club has no choice but to be aggressive come trade time.
"I think we've got to," Sanderson told SEN Radio on Saturday.
"We've got to look at ways of getting creative and move back in to the first and second round because you just can't have two years where you don't bring in really good young talent.
"We've seen what has happened where they've traded out first picks and that leaves holes in your side in three, four, five years."
With Greater Western Sydney prepared to part with the first overall pick at the next NAB AFL Draft, Sloane's name had been mentioned as potential trade bait.
Club legend Mark Ricciuto was amongst those suggesting Sloane be put up to trade.
But Crows football manager Phil Harper has declared the 23-year-old will be staying in Adelaide.
"I would hope not (that we'd trade him), it would want to be for 10 absolute champions," Harper told AFL Live Radio.
"Love the way he plays footy and I'd go as far as to say, if we gave away Rory for the number one draft pick, or whatever it happened to be, I'd just about quit the game.
"This lad, if he took your daughter out, you'd be rapt … no I don't think we'll be giving away Rory."
Sloane was slightly down on form in Friday night's 27-point loss to Collingwood, collecting 18 disposals but laying five tackles.
While Sanderson told reporters post-match that his side wouldn't "roll over and die", the defeat leaves Adelaide stuck in 12th place.
