We can sign a bunch of free agents as well. That has seemed to work in the past.
OUr window is still slammed shut until we have some elite prospects in the pipeline.

Hey I get it and agree for the most part. We should of bottomed out a few years ago.
What is this teams ceiling without those types of players? No idea.
Wolf might be in that category for his position. But he won't be enough by himself to make us a contender.
We're most likely going to have to find it without bottoming out though, with the direction it seems we're going in.
Although it's not crazy to think the bottom falls of next year.
Could Coronato be a 40g+\80pt+ guy in a couple years? Unlikely, but I could see it.
Maybe he turns into Pastranak level guy.
Parehk could be a top 10 d man in the league in a few years.
Florida traded for Reinhart and Chucky. Vegas traded for Eichel. If we're not bottoming out we're probably going to have to try and make a big swing trade.
We may need to be creative and get those players outside of the bottom of the draft, ie development or trade
