Doug Wilson is a good GM, and he knows he needs to retool the team. But he put himself in a position where his players had more power than he did. So he's had to go out and make moves with more of a win now angle.
When Marleau and Thornton leave for nothing and Pavelski is 34 and Burns is 32, with Vlassic and Couture moving to the back end of their prime. Does it look like a championship team or a Minnesota Wild type team?

Burns is 31 & Pavelski will be 32 in July.
