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

I'm not suggesting they trade Gaudreau; I'm saying that once he's gone, don't waste time trying to make something work with Tkachuk and Lindholm.
Tkachuk with 1 year is valuable if you trade him to a team with a good chance to re-sign him. 1st + at minimum.
Lindholm with 2 years left @ <$5M is someone any contender would be bending over backwards to acquire. 1st, 2nd, and a top prospect, maybe more if there's a bidding war.
Re-sign Mangiapane and Kylington - if you're gonna pay people, it may as well be guys you develop.
I really would like to see this team be a cap floor team for a few seasons. There's no reason to spend this much every year to achieve this little.
