I would consider this season a huge success if that were to happen.

Then:
- Watch as few, if any, of these mid-round picks pan out to anything
- Wait years for our first rounders to become another Jankowski
- Gaudreau traded for a late first and Hanowski types at the deadline before he’s a FA
- Giordano retires
- Rittich leaves as free agent
- Monahan then becomes Backlund now
- Tkachuk fails to carry a bunch of scrubs. Requests trade.
- All before the Lucic contract is even off the books
At least we wouldn’t need many protection slots in the Seattle expansion draft.
