My point is this team would be better had they kept their superstars instead of the guys they brought in to try and replace them. When your franchise players leave it is time to rebuild. The management of this team made the mistake thinking their depth was elite and would continue to carry them after swapping out stars.

Well the team was bad in the bubble and those two guys are key culprits of that bad season. Bad the season prior to that. Fell of a cliff during our 50 win season prior to that after a hot start.
So yeah with a depleted team what makes you think we would have been better. We are likely in the same situation except we would have Tkachuk.
Johnnys contract is untradable. It would be the same if we was here at 10.5
They should have rebuilt but no point in getting upset about that when that has never been the mandate.
We would be in the same situation if they stayed, maybe a but better because of Tkachuk but who knows how his play would be if he stayed. It was up and down for them.
