What would rebuilding look like?
I'm happy with the make up of this team and glad we were able to salvage what happened in the off season. It's exciting to think we have a legitimate chance this season but it's pretty much boom or bust.
I did look at next year's cap situation and it made me think about what if we did decide to rebuild after losing Gaudreau and Tkachuk, what would the team look like going into the off season next year with big hitters in the draft (Bedard/Michkov)?
Possibly no Kadri so Monahan rides out his contract and we still have Floridas 1st
Not re-signing Huberdeau and flipping him before deadline for possibly a 1st and 2nd? Maybe even two 1st?
Not re-signing Weegar and flipping him before deadline for possibly a 2nd? Maybe even a 1st?
Hanifin may not want to re-sign an extension so what would trading him be worth with a pick?
Teams might be interested in Markstrom and what would he be worth?
Lindholm and Toffoli would also be one year from expiring so flipping them for a draft pick could be done.
With a crap ton of cap space after 23 we would be able to sign a good UFA as well. Also with a ton of picks for 23 draft, we could make a ton of noise if picking the right kids. Thoughts?
