but but but, zeke says it would be dumb to trade the talent we have on this team!!! and Zeke has numbers to prove it.
We are in for a bad few years, but we need to really suck this year and get lucky for a McDavid or get into the Strome/Marner area... and then collect some late firsts with Franson and Phaneuf and package Winnik and Santo for a late first or low seconds etc.
