I don’t think it’s horrible. I think that’s a playoff team under Sutter. However like most folks on here, I don’t think you’ve got much hope of winning a cup and it begs the question of when you pull the trigger on a re-build. The answer to that revolves around when you trade Tkachuk, with the following three possibilities:
1. Admit defeat, trade him now
2. Roll out the roster above, give it until the All-Star break, trade him at the deadline if we suck
3. If we are in it, keep him, and hope to re-sign him or lose him for nothing.
I think the difference in trade return for the first two options is marginal, so if I was to guess, I’d say Treliving is going to hold on to him for now.
