The return for Gaudreau is going to be horrendous, but it still may make sense due to the signal regarding a rebuild to the team and what it means and a strategic transition for the franchise. Hopefully you don’t get too fleeced and can get a couple key pieces, but the truth is new stars will emerge new hope will rise up and the team will get good again. The NHL has created a system where you’re never too far gone for too long, unless you’re Edmonton then it’s just hopeless.
