The problem here though is that it is extremely unlikely the organization moves in that direction.
Both Treliving and Sutter have two more years left on their deals after this one. Im not convinced that is merely coincidence.
They are not paying those two (a lot of money) to blow it up and rebuild...which is precisely what your deal would suggest.
They will deal Gaudreau and/or another core guy this summer... in a "hockey" trade.
Again, rightly or wrongly, this club will be looking to compete and get into the post season moving forward by retooling but a hard reset simply looks out of the question when you add it all up.

This is precisely the problem. You have a front office set up to win now and a roster nowhere close. It’s the the problem with hiring Sutter in the first place IMO, and I love Darryl.
This organization has no business trying to ‘win now’ with this hole-filled roster and lack of foundational pieces.
More dark, mediocre times ahead until this ends up where it’s is painfully & obviously headed.
