Sounds great.

Literally not what I said.
They can be a competitive team next season, and they will be. So many things went wrong last season and they barely missed the playoffs. Better years from Huberdeau and Markstrom are pretty much a given. Pretty easy for improvements from the PP, OT and 3 on 3 records, as well as other individual players. Even if they tried to tank next year they couldn't, there's too many good pieces.
They will be competitive next season and I believe Conroy will replenish some of the picks and prospects the organization needs in the process. Having a guy like Toffoli being traded at arguably the peak of his career is a blessing in disguise. Sell high. Things aren't that bleak. Unless you're that kind of person, but I'm not. The team will be more than likely be younger and faster next season, exactly what I want to see. Going to be a fun summer.
