Gibson is young enough to come out of the rebuild why waste the 31-36 ages of Markstrom if you only hope to compete after he is 35?
Same with Lindholm. Why keep him around for less than $5M when it will cost $7+ to re-sign him when the team competes.
Only real core piece that would make sense keeping through a rebuild would be Tkachuk because he is only 23 and could be 27-28 when the team turns it around but I don’t think he has the appetite for it.
