There have been coaching changes, player movement throughout the last 7 years. I truly believe this summer we see some massive moves like we did in 2018.
Johnny is 7 years younger than Iggy was when he was traded. Tkachuk is 12 years younger. Gio is the only graybeard on the team in a prominent role.
Look at our top 6 forwards
Johnny (28) Lindholm (26) Tkachuk (23)
Dube (23) Monahan (27) Mangiapane (25)
Top 4 D
Hanifin (25) Tanev (32)
Gio (38) Andersson (25)
Goalie
Markstrom (31)
I would be interested to know of an example where a team with a top end that young tore it all down and started over?

I think the difference is that this is a cap world, and a number of these players have a contract which is expiring soon.
A lot of these players are not getting better.
And it’s not a particularly strong group.
They are not likely a tweak away from being a contender.
Often, the sooner you tear it down, the shorter the time to potentially become relevant.
