…I’m still hoping for a hard turn and for us to sell at the deadline. Gather as many picks in the 2023 draft as possible.

Problem is what UFAs do we have - Lucic, Lewis, Ritchie, and Stone.
So maybe you could get some a 2nd round - but more likely some 3rds.
IMO this is the year you should be going all in - try to add a piece that really supports the top 6 and hope that Markstrom can find his game before the playoffs - or else you run with Vladar.
Next year is the year that they should be honest with themselves and do a retool.
Backlund, Lindholm, Toffoli, Tanev, Zadorov, and Hanifin are all going to be UFA after next season. And Backlund, Toffoli, and Tanev will all be over 31 years old, so you should not be looking at re-signing them.
