This. Exactly this.
Giordano (go chase a Cup)
Monahan
Gaudreau
Tkachuk
Get as many high end futures as you can for those players. I would also look at moving Backlund and Hanifin for futures too.
Plus, be willing to take on bad contracts in order to increase the returns.
They could have a huge surplus of futures built up, and be in the running for Wright/Bedard/Michkov over the next two seasons. Need to get lucky for sure, but the team they have now is going nowhere but mediocrity-ville. It's not a contender.
