But that salary swap with Gaudreau and Hall essentially confirms we won't be able to re-sign Brodie, and if we're reducing Gio's usage, who takes those minutes?
All logical signs, to me, keep pointing at a full rebuild.

If Johnny goes out and New Jersey's 1st comes in, then I get it. Draft Perfetti, Drysdale, Rossi, or Lundell with that pick.
Sign Taylor Hall and all of a sudden you're slightly better on the ice (in my opinion) and you've just added a blue chip prospect. That's a very quick win for the organization.
