Hmm, I'll believe it when I see it.
I honestly think with some key bounce back seasons this team could challenge for another division title.
If they're in 1st place at the deadline and have key pending UFA's still on the roster (Lindholm, Hanifin, Tanev, Backlund, Zad) IMO they are not going to start trading them for futures, nor should they.
The problem should be dealt with right now, but if team's aren't offering fair value for these players it's a tough spot to be in. Can't really give them away now because you might be forced to walk them to UFA next off season.
