They could be in trouble for quite awhile.
Consider:
* Even if Tambellini was fired, MacTavish will be the next GM. What does that change?
* Even if they decided to trade one of their top young players in exchange for some help in different areas, their pro scouting is so bad and so inept that it would probably just end up making the team worse.
* The team has no prospects who will end up playing in the NHL with the only exception being Oscar Klefbom. Amazing that only three years ago they had three second-round picks (Marincin, Hamilton, Pitlick) and all three are already busts/marginal players.
