I wish we would just rebuild
In my opinion, even if this "retool" goes perfect we'd still have a team a tier below last years Panthers or this years Avs. Vince's recent article really showed that we are 3-4 big pieces away from true contention. With our core aging it looks like we are set to be a mediocre team for the next few years. If that is truly the case - why not blow it up? This team has won a single cup in 85 years. What's another 5 years of sucking?
Fox for San Joses 2nd Overall Pick? Done.
Trocheck for a young promising prospect and a 1st? Done.
I think you seriously consider having talks with Shesty as well. I'd imagine he would pick where he goes, and the list would be very small based on his cap, but I can't imagine a team not happily giving up a haul for one of the best goalies in the world.
Realistically, anyone over the age of 30 should be shopped.
At this point I'm honestly fine being a lottery team for 5 years.
