Even if they just sold Hanifin and Toffoli - I think they almost have to walk away from this draft with at least two 1st round selections.
If they sell Hanifin I think it will be for another top 6 forward. I find it hard to believe they will trade Toffoli unless they get a younger player back with term to replace him. Even then I doubt it as the mandate is to win this year and I believe I remember Conroy saying he was excited to see what Toffoli brings next year.
