Wall Street Landscape

Given the events of the past week, it seems to me that MM/Boutique firms (say Harris Williams, HLHZ, Lazard, Piper Jaffray, maybe even Jefferies) are becoming more and more attractive from a recruiting perspective. I believe firms that tend to place a bigger focus on just advisory work should fare better in the new reality of Wall Street. Most of these firms have relatively clean balance sheets compared to their larger peers, they just don't have as large of a trading operation. Do others agree with me that these firms will rise in stature?
