The smart business decision with a new stadium on the horizon would be to rebuild as quickly as possible. Take your lumps for the next 5 years and do it right this time. Too many of their high end draft picks have not materialized to anything Daniel Tkaczuk, Rico data, Sam Bennett, to a lesser degree Monahan has clearly capped out. The organization has clearly had some really bad luck in regards to this, all you can do is start over again and get the drafting right and the rest will follow. They really do need to catch a break a get an elite centre in the draft, it's been the death blow for this organization for the last 30 years

That's literally a brown trout take if 'brown trout' is a euphemism for ####.
