What you're describing is basically roll with this and start plugging holes through trades and signings to go upward right now. With Wolf that could make us a playoff team, but not likely a contender. So it would be another failed build for us.

Basically. This time we don’t have a Johnny or Monny on the team either or even Bennett.
You also can’t fill your #1C hole in free agency and I don’t see any Eichels on the trade block.
I’ve seen wild suggestions we go after Rantanen and Bennett in free agency. Trade for a rotational 4th liner in Krebs.
Thankfully I don’t see Conory doing anything like that, only thing that would get in the way is from upstairs as we know he likes to meddle and try to push for 8th spot.
