They have a few attractive young pieces... at forward.
They have no defense and no goaltending, and next to nothing impactful in the pipe for those positions. That is why they're in for years of pain to come.
No way Tavares goes from a perpetual losing team like the Isles to another one just entering that groove on the hope it may turn around in a few years.
On Karlsson's side, why would he go from a tire fire in Ottawa where it's all on his shoulders (under a microscope in a harsh Canadian city) to another one?
Both of those acquisitions couldn't be any less likely.
