If dragged into a rebuild you can move the likes of Tanev, Hanifin, Monny/Backlund, and maybe even Lindholm/Markstrom for futures.
The sparse cupboards from 2017-19 mean it's unlikely to be quick retool. Sustained success for this group will require continued improvement from young roster players, and for a few of our best prospects to make a big impact fairly soon. If those things don't happen, then it means we're likely heading into a rebuild without much legit young talent (ie. starting with the 2023 draft instead of 2022 won't be a huge deal)
1-2 need to jump from very good to great+:
