Re-sign Jarome for 4 years at 7 million.
Trade Calgary's 1st round pick for a 34 or so 2nd line center reclamation project
This organization is rebuilding. Not hard to see. Do they want to mandate: "We are trying to draft #1 next year! huh huh huh"
The order of every season from now on is "Make Playoffs". Will they sacrifice the future in order to do so? NO. "NO POST APEX PLAYERS".
Once they make the playoffs, their goal after that will probably shift into: "Win the Cup" - it is at this point that you hope they make intelligent moves in trading away SOME of the future to enhance the 'win now' - as long as they have a viable shot at it.
Just like Blue says: "Stop, Breathe and Think!"

I honestly hope you're right.
I'm more in the "fool me once ..." camp.
