This is a 4-6 year journey, and we’re not even 18 months into it.
If they make the playoffs, enjoy it. It’s likely the last time playoff hockey will be played on Dome ice, and that’s worth more than the 16th overall pick, especially when we already have two others this year.
They’re probably not gonna keep Andersson, at least not at a number Andersson wants.
Huberdeau will be 32. Kadri will be 35. Backlund will be 36.
There are going to be a lot of poor finishes over the next half decade, and if this year isn’t one of them, it really doesn’t matter, since there’s nothing else they can do short of throwing games.
