I shudder to think what this management does with it's assets should they be in a dog fight for a WC spot come trade deadline...

There is a lot of lose in that approach though.
This team will not be in a selling position at the deadline and chances they lost Gaudreau for nothing is high.
I would hate for this team to be starting a rebuild after they traded Pelletier and a 1st for a handful of games of Hertl.
It feels like they will target a depth Dman or maybe bring Gio back and sniff around a forward but hopefully not pay the price to get a guy like Hertl or Giroux who will certainly cost a 1st+
Poor cap management has this team in tough to keep their bubble squad together let alone add.
I fully support a new GM and have since another disappointing offseason concluded.
