What would your plan be from here?
Coaching change? Buying , selling or standing pat?
A new goalie?
There is no sarcasm here I legitimately just want your opinion.
I think all out change is my answer as I don't think simply buying or selling it a proper term for this situation.
I'd move anyone but Dubois, Leveille, and the Euro's for the right price.
I still think next year should be a target year for major improvement. Wasting a player like Svechnikov without ever seeing a legit run would be an awful waste.
If I could move Darcy for a lateral 20 I do it.
If I can get anything close to a decent goaltender I send Brassard packing and use that spot on a cheap 20.
If a combo of say 2-3 of Drummondville's 1st, Corbeil, L'Italien, and Beaudin can get me a top pairing defenceman for 18 months I'd do it. I'm confident throwing in Lalonde or Bell gets that done but do we move them now? Depends on the player we're targetting I think.
There's really no clear answers even though your question is very clear. We just have to hope our GM has never stopped working the phones so he has an accurate gauge on the trade market.
Call me crazy but this can still be fixed in time to contend next season.
1 thing I will add is this: If we do an all out sell and just accumulate more assets I think you start to lose the fan base. 1st round picks in the future don't sell tickets or play hockey today. This market deserves a top team and has the players and assets to do it. But does it have the management and coaching?
