If you are going for it in the next 3 years...then load the f* up and let the cards fall where they may. Get the best coach, the best gm, start the propaganda machine for how close we are and sell the farm and futures.
If you are going to be good again in 5-8 years, then sell at the maximum value between now and the deadline...take picks, retain salary, do whatever you need to maximize assets and not screw yourself with bad contracts in 5-8 years. Hell trade huberdeau/Kadri for a bad contract that expires in 4-5 years for a player that sucks already.
We are so half pregnant...and we have a big chunk of the fan base endorsing the stupidity for some reason. It's fine to hope for the best once the cards are dealt...but we don't have to endorse the stupidity as it's happening.

We should probably wait for Conroy to do something more than trade a 31 year old for a 25 year old and an 18 year old before we confirm definitively that he is not trying to replenish the teams prospects and get younger.
