I just think writing this team off completely is a mistake. Not saying this current group is winning a cup.
I was too young to remember 89 and wasn’t a hardcore fan until 2004. The current group we have is the best core of players in the last 20+ years. Most of our players are still young. I am not opposed to changes but what changes do you make? Realistically any seismic moves happen in the summer.
This team has their future captain in Tkachuk and if they shifted to rebuild o doubt he wants to stay through that.

Most talented group of players I'll agree with, but best team?
As for what to do? I really don't know what the entire process would be, but I think the result is that Gaudreau and Monahan are gone, Gio is gone at peak trade value and you go from there. If the rest don't want to stay, then you deal with that then. You're not writing the team off, you're moving components for quality assets because there's something wrong with this mix.
There is no easy answer here, it's a bad bad scenario.
