I also imagine SJ doesn't have the appetite to set the record for worst season in modern nhl history. They're going to finish last, that's all but certain - I just imagine they don't want to finish the year with 9 wins.

Coyotes have 10 2nd round picks in the next 3 drafts.

.....sooooo

Hanifin and Lindholm
for
10 x 2nd rounders.

Who says no?

The right linemates can help crack the code but if they trade assets for a mediocre player and it doesn't work, that's a big risk.
It really depends what the cost of trying this fix is.

Isn't the worst case scenario 'cost' a buyout? Marginally better would be a retained salary trade.

Getting Huberdeau going by giving up Dube + a pick for Duclair is probably a less costly option to crack the code.

Actively trying to find a player to compliment Huberdeau? While he's benched?
I just don't get this organization if this is true.
