Hanafin - This guy I would resign but you listen as well.
Play some 4D Chess to get markstrom a new home and bobs your uncle.
Look the org went for it as best as the could, our superstars left and the current team isnt working. This organization cannot afford to lose assets for nothing for awhile. You can't live you life saying "Maybe next year" they'll sort it out, what if they don't?
Gio, Monahan and Johnny didn't get sold. All because of what Loyalty/chance to resign? give me a break this is pro sports.

They're not selling the farm after handing out something like 180 million dollars for three veteran players for the next eight years.
Even a re-tool (selling Lindholm or Hanifin) seems counterproductive. Anything you get back for those guys is going to be a downgrade in the short term with the dice roll that you hopefully upgrade in the long. Meanwhile your current core is getting older and you probably have shut down any playoff / cup aspirations for the next couple of years. After which you rinse and repeat with the older guys because they'll be over the hill.
