There seems a decent likelihood of losing Johnny to free agency. Unless he clearly intends to stay, I think if this is our last shot with him as our best player - poop or get off the pot.
The lineup is good, but has a few holes. Florida swing exposed the team. Sell some futures and go for it. Hertl, Pavelski or Gireaux or the like. Someone on the back end pending UFA. Figure out a way to make it work.
Tweaking won't put us over the top, status quo won't get us there. Just go for it.
Cup or bust. If it doesn't work, just start a rebuild.
