If there's a model to follow it should be somewhat akin to Colorado.
That said, odds of Landing a MaKinnon are very low. But I think it's the right idea.

Colorado is funny. They sucked enpugh to get Mackinnon, got into the POs the next year, and decided that was it, so they went out and signed Iginla, Stuart, Briere, etc. And miss the POs for 3 more years. TBF, the Avs underachieved for years with their roster until they finally got their cup. And underachieved afterwards too.
