And its not even a bad thing if they end up with a top 5 pick in a throw away season. Yes its the worst year as scouts havent seen players play but maybe they get some luck for once and they end up with a decent talent like another 1B center level talent.
Maybe one that uses their size and plays a good two way game and they can move Lindholm to RW permanently. They can still build out like VGK or St Louis and be successful without burning it to the ground. They just need to be solid top to bottom with a solid coach and a solid effort level. A talent swap here and there for Forsberg or something etc.
