This question isn't for those advocating a passive/patient approach.
What gamble would you make if you were Brad looking to close the gap left by Gaudreau and give Sutter a competitive team again for next season?
Any outside of the box ideas that haven't been floated?

We don't have our 2023 3rd rounder, so the offer sheet for Laine would have to be at least $10.5 million AAV and would cost four 1st rounders. An offer less than that would have to include a 3rd rounder.
I mentioned it in another thread, but maybe the Jackets would trade down in order to get a cheaper player that could play in the top 6 but still contribute while getting cap space.
I know it's not in the spirit of this thread, but I think the team is handcuffed until they know what is happening with Tkachuk. I would be in favour of adding either Klingberg or Kadri if the cap hit and terms were agreeable, but there is no point if Tkachuk can't be extended or a player of equal value brought back in a trade.
