BT needs to get some work done. Getting a real coach was just the beginning.

This 100%. I get that people want to see what DS can do but let's not forget, most of our core had career years and we've seen how good we can be, and it's still not good enough IMO. Right now is the time to make trades because we have Sutter so he could extract the most out of the guys while we wait for the big fish to land.
Guys like Hanifin who's been playing great should be considered in a swap if it means better for the future. Let's face it, this team is not a future contender. I'd still consider Tkachuk, Monahan, etc if the price was right. We always are wanting to sell when our guys have low value. Why not start moving guys while value is still there.
