Either way, standing pat isn't the end of the world, but it seems like a missed opportunity to gather an extra 2nd-4th round pick by moving some, or even one of the semi-peripheral players.

Better yet, cashing in on someone more significant like Toffoli could be a serious shot in the arm in terms of the ability to clear some cap room and make further deals at the draft with that capital gained, which could likely be significant in that scenario.
I think doing nothing today is fine. If you can sell someone, cool, but you’re not at risk of losing anyone of value to UFA this summer. Lots of time.

I’m just genuinely surprised with the season we’ve watched that they’ve done nothing. They didn’t even call anyone up outside of injury replacements, did they? It’s possible that if nobody was injured, we wouldn’t have even seen Pelletier?
