They are stuck in the netherworld of middle of the pack - especially without any possibility of a high pick this year. I’m for a huge, swing for the fences signing and/or blockbuster trade.

Something like:

Karlsson, Hoffman (or Stone)

for

Hamilton, Hamonic, Fox, Bennett (or Frolik), +?

Gaudreau-Monahan-Tkachuk
Hoffman-Jankowski-Ferland
Dube-Backlund-Frolik (Bennett)
Who cares

Gio-Brodie
Valimaki-Karlsson
Kulak-Andersson

Or

Try to sign Tavares for huge money. And flip Jankowski, Brodie, Stone for picks to drop salary.

Tkachuk-Tavares-Ferland
Gaudreau-Monahan-Bennett
Dube-Backlund-Frolik
Who cares

Gio-Hamilton
Valimaki-Hamonic
