It's kind of weird - I'm not sure how posters can want the flames to trade a core piece and then retool for next season. Trading Lindholm or Backlund will not make the flames better either this season or next. It's not a realistic option.
Three seasons out, when futures might help us, Huberdeau and Kadri will be on a hard decline of post apex.
The realistic options are tear it down or stay the course for another season. There's really no in between
