I think it depends who leaves.
If Gaudreau stays and Tkachuk doesn't want to re-sign then I think you can probably use the cap space and assets from dealing Tkachuk to remain strong.
If Gaudreau goes for nothing, and then Tkachuk is on the fence I think the best path is to tear it down.
If both stay...then you have some work to do to clear out cap space to keep key pieces around them.
