But it probably means missing the playoffs for 2 or 3 years, maybe in a row, and selling popular-because-they're-productive players year after year after year. Brodies, Backlunds, Bennetts, Ferlands.
You don't address it by dealing 4-6 2nd round picks in a calendar year.

Oh yes, the proven formula of trading your productive (best) players for draft picks.
One can imagine the ROI on Kipper at the 2004 trade deadline. Probably best time to trade Iggy too.
TB was nuts for signing Stamkos to the that contract. Could have got some decent picks and start a proper rebuild
