No, can't see it. As fans we see maximizing return and moving players out at the right time as obvious, but you have to remember there's way more at play for a professional sports organization. Moving stars out when you're a contender is going to destroy that locker room's faith and relationship with the team going forward.
Almost zero chance they do it unless they can get a star in return but what team is going to do that when Panarin's going to free agency.
My guess is Panarin and Bobrovski will both be part of the run and then will become two of the biggest FA's this summer.
