It’s an insane offer, I can’t see any team signing off on a deal that gives away unknown assets that far into the future. Too risky.

Is it though? I would not trade Monahan for three ~20th overall picks, not only from a sheer talent perspective, but from a time until relevant to this team perspective. Hanifin for 1 20th overall pick would be a total waste. Monahan+hanifin >4 1sts. Yet people are throwing their names around. I think we assign too much value to the future picks.
Ergo I would rather trade 4 1sts then combine existing players to acquire a difference maker
Order of operations:
1. Sign tkachuk. I think its something like 7x5.
2. Sign Rittich. 3 x 2.5 maybe?
2. Trade brodie and frolik for picks
3. See if theres a trade that makes sense for Neal
4. Offer sheet: 1 of marner, point, or laine. Marner is the least realistic imo.
5. If 4 unsuccessful, go hard after duchene
6. Ferland signing in offseason maybe? Or other muscle and toughness.
7. Get cheaper 25-30 game backup
