Last season was fun. But I care more about building a team that will be a championship challenger for a number of seasons, not one and done. That was the exactly what was setup. Gaudreau and Tkachuk walk for nothing and it will be a distant memory before we see a repeat. You need to keep succession planning at the top of your to-do list as a manager in professional sports. You have to recoup assets where possible and bring in the quality players where possible. This has been a failing of this team for some time.
