Just focus on drafting and development and use the leverage you have on entry levels and RFAs and learn to let go and move on when the leverage swings to the player.
You CAN build good teams and possibly a winner like this; this is the Carolina strategy.
Trade Lindholm for young players / picks / prospects. You know you are going to have to stockpile young assets in order to get rid of the Huberdeau and Kadri contracts in a few years. Acquiring young cost efficient assets should be the mantra of this organization. Not just now or “in a cycle”, always it should be the mantra, know what your market is, it is an “undesirable”, deal with it.
