This.
More than one way to win. They don't have to go full scorched earth to improve this roster.
We still have lots of good pieces that are young and under team control for a while still (Tkachuk, Lindholm, Hanifin, Andersson, Bennett, Dube, Mangiapane, Kylington, etc).
If you want to move on from the older core (Monahan, Gaudreau, Gio, Backlund) there is still a path to do that, add to the young core listed above, and not go scorched earth.
The one big thing though is you do need to take advantage of expiring assets to keep a team competitive. And not doing so with Brodie and Hamonic will hurt them longer term.
