Honestly to me it’s a re-tool, there are too many good young pieces on this roster still for a true scorched earth re-build.
I think the first step is bringing in a new coaching staff, and Treliving should move quickly with an experienced coach. Get one of Boudreau, Gallant, Laviolette, or Sutter in here prior to the draft.
Sit down with that coach and have an honest conversation about the team, the style of play and identity you want the team to play, and then determine what pieces you want to move with the new coach as part of that discussion.
Then you make the necessary roster moves from there. Don’t move out any of your own picks, and any pieces that are added need to fit into our expansion draft plans so that we don’t just move assets to them lose a better player for free in 12 months.
