But I'm also on team tank for this year. Nothing to gain from squeaking into the playoffs (and I don't think there's a chance they do anyway). A first round pick in the teens seems to not help much. There are no fans in the stands etc.
Therefore, even though it's a supposed weak draft getting the best centre available couldn't hurt.

This league is very tight and you just never know. Players have bad years teams have chemistry issues or injuries we aren’t aware of that can lead to a bad season. I look at Florida who signed bobrovsky and they looked good on paper and they missed the playoffs. They move on from Hoffman trochek and dadonov and appear to be a team that is in a bit of a retool and now they are top 8 in the nhl and looking to be a threat. Cap space and a good team that might be set up to buy and make a run.
Sell this year at minimum and fix cap in off season by moving Johnny and Gio and then move forward. Hopefully get a top 5 pick this year and a bunch of mid picks and see how it goes. If it doesn’t go well then sell again next deadline. Why do it all in one summer when it really isn’t that hard to be bottom 5 in this league
