Best case scenario they lock Draisaitl, McDavid & Bouchard for 14m, 16m, 10m respectively and have 40m (49.25 with Nurse) locked up for 7 years. They get one more kick at the can next year while not addressing their D or Goaltending. After that they wander the desert as a low seed playoff team for the next 6 years winning a couple rounds here and there but not seeing contender status again until after their next several rebuilds in the 2030s.
