So are you suggesting a rebuild?

Okay. So what if he isn't getting any great offers for Kane? Does he trade him for a player who is as good as Kane now, but won't get any better? Or keep holding out for a player with the potential of Kane?
If Winnipeg had a bigger budget they could shift into win now mode with a couple big UFA signings. They can't do that, so they have to draft their way to success. But the fans probably won't stand for a prolonged rebuild where they dip into bottom-5 range.
Sounds like a pretty tough spot to me.
