If we lose Johnny, we should trade Andrew and Matt because we won't be making the playoffs anyway

If Johnny walks on July 1 (and I wouldn’t begrudge him if he did), Lindholm, Tkachuk and Mangiapane should all have new homes before training camp.
Hanifin too.
Lindholm and Tkachuk could for sure return 1sts +, and Mangiapane/Hanifin likely can as well - certainly not less than 2nds ++.
Between those players and a Lucic retirement, you’re opening up nearly $32M in cap space.
Fire Treliving, be a floor team for a few years, and do a proper rebuild.
