If the trade isn’t there, don’t do it. Don’t force something that doesn’t make sense if it would mean higher value in a trade at the deadline with a team under pressure.
Basically, write this season off and set up a long term plan, such that you can be sure to maximize value of life after Gaudreau and Monahan as our cornerstone forwards because we aren’t winning with them.
Make somebody pay fair market freight. Can’t see how a team like the Rangers wouldn’t give up a studly young prospect for Gaudreau if they have Panarin and Lafreniere and then the confidence to re-sign Gaudreau.
Could we get a guy like Kakko + other interesting pieces for example?
