Would have meant trading Hanifin and Lindholm that same summer when they were worth their peak values. Also would have meant not trading Monahan and not signing Kadri. Team could be on an upswing now with Wolf timing out to be a star goaltender.
Again, hindsight is 20/20 and it’s obviously a lot more complicated than that. Who knows.
