It's a real "chips pushed in" move for the next 1.5 years, except they have very little wiggle room to rent for this year.

exactly
Tre will probably overpay Tanev who, to be honest isn't looking so hot lately...bring back Gio at 800k. Overpay Talbot and find some league min bottom six players
Cup contenders? I don't think so
Without their OT and 3 on 3 points they aren't even a good team now
What I'm saying is they won't be a legit contender unless they trade a big name up front but they "can't do that" so we will have this conversation again in the spring, and next season, and the following season.
