Trading all three could well set this team up for a decade, but as everyone knows “the goal is playoffs”.
Even though they could just spend to the cap floor and be a professional hockey franchise for a few years and nobody would bat an eye.

Then they should have traded these guys before the season , not signed Coleman, and started the rebuild to be one year closer
What would be the point of playing well to the trade deadline and then trading your best player for assets ? That means they wasted this year and a year of
Rebuild
The point is to win hockey games . This team is trying to win
If they can’t sign JG though it has to be a full rebuild
