It could happen I just think it's a poor strategy to hope that things will suddenly fall into place. If we are going to get rid of all our decent players and acquire draft picks we really should bottom out a bit it the opportunity is there.
People don't seem to get it, with the players we have locked in we can't bottom out. Tell me how you move Weegar, Kadri, Huberdeau, Backlund, and Coleman. Either they have too much term and money left or they don't want to move and control their own fate. This season was about as low as they are going to get, I don't see them possibly being worse next year. So either you try and add the pieces to be a playoff team or you give Montreal a pick between 11-16, that's what I think is most likely. As for a franchise player, very few teams have a franchise player.
