There's no reason to blow it up to get a top five pick, when we are already on our way to getting a top five pick with the assets we have. I believe it would be a lot better if we make one or 2 good moves to get another 1st rounder, and then still end up with an injection of young talent while still having players that can make up a complete team.
Some of the suggestions here are so over the top that you have to assume they just believe what works in NHL 2013 works in real life as well. You don't trade away half your team an expect any results by next year. You don't build a lineup that is 75 percent rookies and 2nd year pros and expect anything expect terrible results.

It is unlikely, well impossible that the team will do bugger all for 4 to 5 years no matter what the management does, without adding several firsts and seconds the 4 to 5 years will stretch out to 7 or 8. As such the only thing a prudent GM should be doing is ignoring the next few years conpletely and acrueing picks
