I love watching him play and he's clearly the best player we've had since Iginla, but I think we should let him walk and rebuild. Trade Tkachuk for picks and start all over. We did well to be competitive over the last five years, but not well enough. I see nothing that leads me to believe that the team will be better next year than it was this year.

Call me crazy but IDGAF about 2030 right now. Keep the core together and try to win over the next few years. They’ve shown they can dominate in the regular season and that they’re a good team, learning lessons in the playoffs. TB got swept in the first round in 2019 by the blue jackets. Colorado has had some hard lessons too and they look poised to win this year. Teams typically lose in the playoffs before they win.
