They still have a cap issue though. They are currently right against it - actually a small amount over. And they have Guenztel on LTIR (which should end about 5 games in apparently).
If nothing else, the organization owes those guys one last shot. Like Boston did with their legendary core. They’re facing a rebuild either way, and they’ve had tons of recent success. Worth it.
