The bigger question is can the guys remaining.....remember/figure out what it was that made them really good the previous couple years and hoping they rebound.
Make your big deals at the draft, Do not trade picks etc to beef things up on the current roster, stay the course as far as draft and develop, see what happens next year and if its more of the same...clean house.
I really dont see any other realistic way for it to go down.

That's a year late. I think we're all pretty much in agreement that this group cannot and will not figure it out. They've proven this 3 times in the playoffs. Do not give them another season.
A major core shakeup needs to happen. Like only leaving 1 or 2 of the old guard. Meaning out of Monahan, Gaudreau, Tkachuk, Lindholm, Gio, Backlund.
Edit: we might be closely saying the same thing. I'd just go a little more scorched earth this summer on the core.
