Ship Gaudreau to Jersey for Wood(Sutter type player), Mercer and a NYI's first. Mercer would become our top prospect but needs another two years at the least.
Then ship that first to San Jose for Kevin Lebanc. Lebanc would take over the playmaker role that Johny left although to a far lesser extent.
Try and sign Palmieri if he makes it to UFA.
Run with :
Tkachuk-Lindholm-Lebanc
Mangiapane-Monahan-Palmieri
Wood-Backlund-Dube
Lucic-Gawdin-Ritchie
If this lineup doesn't give us a better chance at success you start selling at the deadline. Move Monahan and Gio for futures.

That is bad. Wood is a grinder, I would put Mercer behind Pelletier and no guarantee he pans out, and a late 1st. If we were going full rebuild that is still a bad trade for an elite winger.
