I don't see this team as a contender, and I don't think they'll be a contender in the next five years.
Hope the new guy has the stones to trade two for futures this summer and get ahead of it. They need to build a younger core to work with Kadri and Huberdeau ... almost like Dallas these days.
I'd keep Hanifin and Lindholm, trade Toffoli and Tanev, and roll the dice on Backlund staying on a Thornton year to year contract.

This has to be one of the most dysfunctional organizations I have ever been a fan off. Press conference declaring "we want to be a championship team". Complete lip service to try and get fans to the dome.... championship teams are built through the draft, you have to go through painful years, draft high and sign your young core players to long term commitments, this team has none of those key ingredients
Just complete lip service...this team actually has no intention to be a championship team. Murray Edwards clearly only cares about misleading his fan base so that he can sell tickets...because they might get into the playoffs...
Hope all you season ticket holders are excited
