I'd say we learned a lot about the team post deadline in 2019. And again the next season. And again the season after that.
You can make changes without blowing it up.

Oh I agree. And changes have been made.
But I've also stated I don't like the forward group. And that I would have traded Johnny as early as last off-season.
But I also choose not to judge in a binary way without knowing what those possible trades. And frankly not trading Johnny last summer was probably the right move as he had a better season. But now you have the contract situation and NTC Kicking in.
I'd like to see them make a major change to the top 6 forwards, but not if that means making a bad deal. Or dumping Monahan for nothing. I'd rather see if he can turn things around.
