Since this armchair gm I'm gonna tell ya what I would do if I was the gm today. First I would of already talked to everyone of my players that had nmc and told them that were about to through a rebuild so if you wanna one day hoist the cup it's gonna have to be somewhere else and if you do decide to stay just know your minutes will be cut drastically for younger players because that's what rebuilding teams do. Then I would go talk to orielly and tell him I'm trading him for the best possible offer. My job as a gm is to build a contender not be friends. Then I would get new jersey on the phone and tell them I'll give them I want nemec for orielly but am willing to add a pick to make that happen even if it's Vegas or tampas 1st. Marchessault doesn't look like hes ok with losing and wouldn't want to be part of a rebuild so I would call la which is in need of a right shot goal scorer and would offer Marchessault and Vegas or tampas 1st for Clarke and a small add. In my hypothetical world new jersey and la agrees. So we now have a future defense of nemec Clarke Gibson Molendyk to build around. With making those moves we end up with a top 2 pick where we pick up Misa. Trade saros in the off-season for anything before his nmc hits. Next year we play our youth like I said and cut the minutes of all our vets maybe getting them frustrated where they will waive as well josi forsberg and stammer I'm looking at you. I also have 2 retention slots so I can retain to make the return even better. This will be a cap floor team so retention should matter the return for the future should. We end up with the top pick picking McKenna and now our future looks bright with nemec Clarke Molendyk Gibson Misa McKenna kemmel zhl Evangelista edstrom and sevechkov

You left out the firing the coach part. None of what you wrote matters until Bruno sleeps with the fishes.

This is the way. And exactly what I would be doing.

  1. ROR for a Nemec/Mercer/Clarke type
  2. fire Bruno
  3. Use cap space this offseason to bring in a reclamation project with Zegras/EP40/Cozens
This is the simple, three-step plan to getting me off the "Fire Trotz" train.
My simple 3 step plan

1. Fire Bruno at the end of the season
2. Trade ROR for exactly what you said above
3. Trade Saros before the NMC and new contract kicks in
