Zary - Reschny - UFA signing
Frost is 3C and we round out the bottom six with some value signings.
Parekh becomes a 1/2 D and we have Wolf.

I think theres a chance that if we could get McKenna that Reschny would be an adequate 1c to pair with him.
Landing a forward talent like McKenna really changes the needs of the team. Dont need to crash out forever. Parekh has game changing offensive talent on the back end. We have guys like Kuz and Bahl on the LD to be big and mean. We have good middle 6 talent. Imo we dont need a 1c and McKenna, but 1 of 2. The sooner the better. Thats why I want to tank so bad.
And yeah, we here have no control over that. But Conroy and Maloney absolutely do. Again, imo, this debate boils down to if you think value between pick 1-3 v 8-14 this year is < than the value difference between holding Andersson, Kadri, and Coleman (for example) rather than trading them for less return sooner.
