Easier said then done but I doubt they're just thinking "This draft or bust!"

If the plan is to make the playoffs in 2014 and the focus is on restricted free agents, then I am concerned. I get the plan, but I'm not sure about the urgency. If the ownership is in an arena struggle, the mandate might become "sign the best guys available," and, "win now". Again. Probably not the best plan. I'm not in the know, but I'm not a fan of this idea.
Now if u want to bring Jarome back after winning a cup, I understand. But if u r planning to trade away draft picks and prospects, well, slow your roll. That's all I am saying.
