At the very least it could be great fun to cheer against them all season long for an extra shot in the lottery.
Eichel will be 29
Karlsson will be 33
Barbashev will be 31
Stone will be 33
Pietrangelo will be 36
It’s a long shot for sure, but not a bad gamble if they run into injury issues or something.

Plus they likely don't have Stephenson, who I think goes UFA and commands a hefty cap hit. Heading into 25-26, they may also be down Hague, Theodore, McNabb, Marchessault, and one of Thompson or Hill. Their prospects aren't great either and they won't have high draft picks to get an instant roster player. In fact, I suspect they will be sellers before that draft to try and recoup a draft pick and rebuild/retool themselves.
