The only real immediate moveable asset is Andersson, but you don't want to rush that trade if you don't have to because you should be able to get a great package of assets for him.

Coleman and Kadri could maybe be moved, but also control their fates and you don't want to just give them away.

Moving pieces like Kuzmenko, Rooney, etc isn't going to move the needle much and I think you could argue that AHL pieces could bring energy and even help the team.
I think they’ll drop into the top 10. They’re already headed in that direction. But I agree top 5 would be tough. Before this season I’d hoped for back-to-back top 5s, but that seems unrealistic now.
