Didn't happen, but I don't know of any that suggested it wouldn't prior to the two players losing their five on five abilities to produce.
I just get the feeling that the GM is a guy that learns from mistakes, would seem almost silly to break in a new one and go through that same process. I guess if they could do at GM what they did at the coach level and bring in a hockey hall of fame level architect you have to look at it, but short of that stay with what they have.

Well if he does not try to trade his 2021 first round pick it will be the second trade deadline in a row that he did not try to move a 1st round pick, so that would be progress.
