Honestly…just rebuild. Full rebuild. Last year was a fluke, current performance is expected and in fact even slightly over performing.

We should be treating the team like it was the year before last year. That is the true skill level of this team. Terrible terrible moves/signings last year to gamble in the playoffs and act like we are a playoff contending team. Need to blow it all up now.

Should of kept the first we got from the Miller trade, get another first for boeser, whatever you can for Demko maybe someone would gamble a 2nd rounder for him. Make Petey and Hughes suck it up for 3 years while Lekkerimaki, our defense prospects and our 3 firsts from this year develop and go from there.

Maybe you can FORCE Petey to suck it up... but Hughes laughs and walks to FA in 2 years and leaves...

First thing they have to do this summer is fire Tocchet and hire an offensive coach. To get the best out of Hughes and Pettersson, stop hiring dinosaur coaches.

If they can dump Garland and Myers to free up some cap space, do that as well.

Make a real run at Rantanen and/or Ehlers. This team desperately needs some firepower and skill in the top-six. The defense has enough; the offense does not.

Boeser has to get dealt before the deadline. They're going nowhere this season and he's not worth his contract demands. Last season was an outlier.

With the current roster, I don't think a run and gun style is going to work well. We are now built with strength on the blueline and very little speed/creativity up front. Trying to play an offensive style will likely result in us getting lit up with very little additional scoring.

Unfortunately playing a tight defensive game is better suited for this lineup, as boring as the game is to watch.
