I personally think the eventual forced rebuild will be longer and much more painful in a few years then ripping the bandaid off now
But Conroy might not be GM in 5 years if he goes that direction , and Edwards may not care as he’ll sell the team when it’s value increases after the new arena is built

Yeah, if they were actually going to rebuild then sure, take the hit now and hope to bounce back in 3-4 seasons.
I just have zero confidence that losing Lindholm would force them to do that, or that any of our guys are going to return anything that special in terms of what a rebuilding team would value.
Trade value has just plummeted across the board this offseason, we might be stuck dealing with another team in a similar situation.
