Yes, they will.
No Lindholm, no Backlund means all the heavy lifting is done by Kadri and Dube.
Or are they gonna throw big money at Max Domi.
No Toffoli = no trigger man on a forward group that already doesn’t have one.
Losing Hanifin makes them a worse blue line.
Drafting 6-10th is just a start.
Then sell some more pieces.
Draft 1-5th.
Sell some more pieces.
Draft 1-5th.
Just for good measure, sell some more pieces.
Draft 1-10th.
Aim to make at least six 1st round selections over the next 3 years.
Aim to make at least six 2nd round selections over the next 2 years.
Don’t sign any UFAs longer than 4 years during this time.
Don’t lie to us. The team three hours north has the two best players in the world.
Don’t tell us you have a better idea than that - “I know better” just got pancaked at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
Do this right.
Make a plan, stick with it, don’t cut corners, and just do what the Blackhawks, Lightning, Penguins, Avalanche, Kings, and Capitals all did, and build the best team you can around players YOU drafted at the top of the board.
We, and I do mean we, just gave you a $1.2B arena project.
Give us a properly built hockey team to watch when it’s done.
You ####ing owe us better than this.
