So we have seriously weakened our player pipeline to dress a top 6 lineup that looks like this next year

Gaudreau-Eichel-Olofsson
Hall-Lindholm-Dube

Vs

Gaudreau-Monny- ??
Hall-Lindholm-Dube

This moves the needle and makes us a Stanley Cup threat? Cause we are mortgaging our future to put this top 6 out there for next year.
It doesn’t matter. We have a #1C locked in for five years after this one.

We have a #1G signed for 5 years after this.

We have Darryl Sutter behind the bench.

We don’t need 1st and 2nd round picks. We need NHL players.

Trade all the futures, because otherwise what’s the point?
