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.

Per above I said fill the roster out with young players. They have a number of good ones. Especially on D instead of Hanley and Barrie.
I’d resign Anderson if he wants to stay. He’s not that old and is arguably our best player. If you dump him you’re just going to have to find someone like him probably for more money.
The team has too much talent to be picking in the top 3. I think unless they get lucky the biggest deficiency center is going to have to be addressed via their cap space in free agency or a trade. Trade route would be harder. Who’s going to trade you a player like that?
