The organization has put itself in a very difficult position.

If this season went poorly and Jonnny left or was traded, I would think they would be in the mix for a lotto pick for the 2023 draft, which I view as being even stronger, with two generational potential players at the top. However, there is an x-factor with Michkov seemingly committed to the KHL for a few years.
I guess I always see the silver lining. I don't really like the team right now so I'm interested and excited to see what happens in the next 2 years as they will need to make decisions on Johnny, Tkachuk and Monahan.
There isn't a single player on this team that I would be sad to see leave, except perhaps Elias.
