I suppose I am freaking out if Francis really said that.

If they sign any UFA the only one I'd be ok with is Hanifin. So if it happens, it happens. He's young and they can trade him in a few years anyways.
They're going to trade Lindholm and Tanev for sure imo. Maybe Markstrom as well. Maybe more. Should get some decent assets from those trades.
They need to stock up on picks and basically hope for the best. I don't see this team being bad enough to draft in the top 2 or 3, so load up on quantity and hope like heck you draft a stud or three in there to make the team a contender.
Zary, Coronato, Pospisil, Pelletier, Honzek, Wolf, Poirier, etc + whatever they get in trades this season, plus whoever they draft with their picks over the next 2 or 3 years.........I'm pretty optimistic about the future. Going to be fun to see what happens. Just hope they make the right choices at the draft, that's the key.
