I think the plan was a plummet, but Wolf and chemistry halted the skid.
Makes me wonder if they move Andersson and don't replace him to further push things downward.
I think the plan was a top five pick.

I do agree the plan was to not lose their 1st to the Habs like they did and thankfully it wasn’t the 11th pick they gave up. I don’t think top 5 pick was ever really in the mix though. Frank Serivali stated throughout last summer this team wasn’t bad enough to bottom out. Moving Markstrom was as much about getting Wolf in the lineup after a dominate run in the minors and cashing in on the asset while he had value than it was trying to secure a high pick.
I am very interested to see what they do this summer.
