That's what it comes down to for me.
If we get Eichel, it's boom or bust.
If we don't, we're likely continuing to tread water for a couple more seasons before we finally start a rebuild when faced with players leaving via free agency while not being quite bad enough to be in the running for either lottery these next 2 years.
After bringing Sutter in, we're not going to do a tear down these next 2 seasons anyways. May as well go big then IMO.
