Doubling down on an aging group that hasn't proven anything.
Kadri
Huberdeau
Weegar
Hanifin
Backlund
Coleman
Markstrom
Andersson (probably re-signed)
That's our core for the next 5 years.
Pelletier, coronato, honzek and zary are all good players. Are they going to be that much better then lindholm and tanev. Is this group of prospects enough to push the rest of that aging core into contention status? Doubt it. None of them project as bonfaide stars. We may get one legit 1st liner out of that group.

Take Hanifin out of that and we're still mediocre for 5 years.
Buckle up because this rebuild will take time, especially when the club has reluctantly fell into it & already missed opportunities.
