I very much doubt that they would de-canon the ST. I guess they could do what they did with the prequels with adding plot fixes and lore via a show like The Clone Wars. They tried it with Resistance which was really Disney's first true shot at a animated series of their own, but Resistance was just as bad as the Sequels.
It'll be interesting to see if the Ranger series is used to bridge to the introduction of the First Order.
Probably the best thing to do is not to make anything around the Sequel Time line, announce that there is not more stories to tell about Rey, Finn and Poe and say that the Galaxy lived in peace for a couple of hundred years.
What I've really noticed though that really kind of hurts me, is that when Disney closed the book on the Legends EU and de-canonized it, they lost a lot of incredibly good writers that understood how to write good star wars material. Drew Karpyshyn, James Lucerno, Michael Stackpole, Troy Denning, Mathew Stover, Karen Traviss and Aaron Allston formed this really strong core of Star Wars writers that wrote really strong books with really interesting characters.
When the new EU came out, the books just seemed to be fairly poorly written, and inconsistent. You'll notice that I left Zahn out of the list above, but he continued to write in the New EU with the Thrawn series, but I didn't think those books were all that good.
