Or maybe you don’t win the cup next year, or even make the playoffs. It’s not a A or B equation. If the idea that moving Gio and Backlund will result in raising the Stanley Cup next year then I say the managements self awareness is a bigger problem then cutting ties with assets that add to the origination
Sometimes the return doesn’t equal the value the assets adds to your team currently. Sometimes being cut throat actually results in a player walking out in the sunset. It’s just packaged in a pretty bow for the public to see
