Yeah I think they assess til TDL and then do a player sell-off, then.
The coaching staff is staying this whole year though, as dumb as it is, so people might as well suck it up and gird themselves for lots of righteous bitching about it.
I think I've talked myself into thinking that Sullivan has at least this year and next year. Unless Hextall finds a coach that he'd be comfortable with both while going for the cup next year while also rebuilding the team after. That's definitely possible, but I'm not sure he'd want to hire a win-now coach and then pull the rug out from under him after a year while saying "we're rebuilding now".
I think this team goes towards a pretty hard rebuild/retool after 2022 if they don't win a cup that year.
