Those are all players you hang on to until the deadline this year if we are to move them at all. At the deadline I could see a bunch of teams tacking on a blue chip prospect along with a mid to late first depending on how the acquiring team does in the playoffs. It’ll be really interesting to see how this team pivots if they do lose Gaudreau, I cringe at the thought of signing a big ticket UFA like Kadri to ‘replace’ the void left by Johnny, I think it would be a better approach to not panic replace and go with internal promotions and a see what happens approach through the season but I don’t think we’d see that kind of measured approach. Terrible timing for all this to be happening to so many key players of last years team in the same year, don’t think I can remember a time like this before.
