They can and should blow this up - they couldn’t win WITH this core WITH Johnny and Tkachuk.
They’re not gonna win with all of them north of 30.

A little off topic, but this is the type of mindset that holds Canadian teams back.
It reminds me of a couple years ago when everyone wanted to trade Gaudreau/Tkachuk and start a rebuild. You don’t build a winner overnight.
You continue to add pieces, gain experience, and let your younger players grow and mature.
Heck I remember last off season a surprisingly large contingent of fans saying they were happy with Tkachuk wanting out because of lack of playoff success.
Now look at him - 25 years old and leading the entire league in playoff scoring.
