Tank next year, get atop 10 pick, then get back to the business of trying to be good.

I think if you remove Toffoli, Lindholm, Zadorov, Hanifin, Tanev and Markstrom you don't have to tank.
Just show up and play the games.
But keeping Markstrom is a wild card that could mean the difference between being 9th and 11th in the draft order.
