Disregarding the doomsayers who already jumped off the cliff after game 1, we're almost at the 10 game mark and are just .500. Even given what has occurred in the last two games, is it too early to panic, or is this a portent of another lost year? Should management let this season play out, in whatever shape it may take, without any major deadline deals, and then re-tool in the off season with an anticipated massive amount of cap space? That means Marner and JT both walk, Kampf, Yarnkrok, Lilj, Reaves, and a few of Dubas's drafts and signings (Steeves, Niemala, Abruzzeze) are all dealt at some point for prospects or picks, and we go into 25-26 with a couple of major FA signings and the future firmly planted on Matthews' and Nylander's shoulders.
I have no problem with this path. I think the current core needs a shakeup, but with NTC's in place, it's nearly impossible to do it in-season. It should have been done this past summer.
