There is a lot of silly hyperbole in here, but I'm not sure how many people are saying anything like that.
I also advocated selling Brodie and Talbot (perhaps replacing them with cheaper pieces as necessary).
Then let the year play out and see how it goes [especially in Rittich and Monahan w/o JG]. If the team folds like a cheap tent, we'd be where we are now a year sooner.
Of course COVID de-railed how all of that would've gone. In the end we still would have had our chance against WPG. If Scheifele goes down, we advance. If he doesn't who knows?. Maybe Rittich poops the bed. Maybe he's even better than Talbot was. If Tkachuk doesn't go down, we still have a punchers chance against DAL.
Either way we'd be younger and have more future assets, whether we need to take another step back, or try to go forward again.

He's been doing nothing the last two seasons to make this team better and every time theres a big name available he cheaps out. Ducks offered Rackell for Bennett + 2nd and he was apparently offended. That means Bennets value is essentially a First and Brad still cheaped out.
I don't know what changes he'll make but if he's in charge of this rebuild/retool we're f#####.
