I don't see any way our team next year is going to be better with selling our UFA's this year.
Imagine this team without 3 of Lindholm, Tanev, Hanifin and Markstrom. We are talking bottom 5.

I sure hope you are right, but it's much easier to be mediocre than to be awful. Especially when you consider that Zary and Pospisil have given Kadri a big boost, Pelletier will probably give Huberdeau a boost, and Kuzmenko and Sharangovich will probably both play with a chip on their shoulders in their contract year. Plus, if Conny is to be believed, we are expecting to receive some mid-20s NHLers in any Hanifin, Markstrom and maybe Tanev trades. We will not be great, but way too good to be awful.
