Even if you don’t completely rip it apart not sure why we can’t move short term assets. If Tkachuk mangiapane kylington all resign short term why not trade them?
If the plan isn’t to resign Tanev backlund and Toffolli why not trade them?
Maybe not all at once and if the young guys sign long term fine keep them. But if everyone is looking short term because they aren’t sure if the want to stay on a team losing their best player and their 2nd best player can force his way to free agency in 1 year why fight it. We just stumbled into a rebuild no?
The Avs got unlucky and moved down to 4th pick and got the best player. This doesn’t happen very often picking 12th to 16th though. Losing Johnny signing Kadri and keeping it together likely gets us 15th overall pick. Sorry not getting Makar there
