Yeah I don't see this team as being competitive next year.
I think hockey ops knows it as well.
And I doubt they are trying to fool the existing players into thinking they are going for it. I'm sure the behind the scenes discussion is on how Benn and Seguin are part of an emerging team that got the draft right.
If you take out arguably 4 of your best 6-7 hockey players for futures you're not staying where you are or moving up.
