We were in the exact same position last year and we sold. I don't see us being any different this year.

Treliving seems to be prepared for this stuff, and has been very straightforward in saying that this team is building for the future since he got here.

Hamilton was brought in - helps make Russell expendable at the deadline. And he likely wants to see guys like Nakladal and Wotherspoon in the lineup before the end of the year.

Frolik was brought in - helps make Hudler expendable at the deadline, plus Hudler is already moving down the lineup.

Jones was never a big enough piece that he wasn't replaceable from within, and you already see Ferland kind of filling the role that he had before.

Even guys like Jooris and Colborne who are RFA are likely expendable due to the extra depth in the roster (guys like Shore, Grant, Agostino can likely step up with little loss of impact).
