Probably is we still don’t have a 1st rounder until 2026Are we in Pitt and Washington territory just earlier in the cycle? Maybe. There’s nothing coming up in the system to make a big impact. It’s not gonna happen but blowing it up should be on the table. There’s no reason to spend the next 5+ years scraping by as a WC and getting bounced early
You don't "blow up" a team with the personnel and talent this team has. There may need to be a player moved at some point to shake things up, but this is not a rebuild situation.Are we in Pitt and Washington territory just earlier in the cycle? Maybe.

IT isn't the head coach. It is the failed trade of Jeannot piled on with the offseason of pure trash signing Jeannot extension for almost 3 million per year, Sheary for multiple years, De Hann, and the Dumba Trade. I hope all four of them are on a diffrernt team next year. Duclair was worth it.There are only two NHL head coaches with Stanley Cup wins more recent than Jon Cooper, and neither have won it twice in a row.
I don't see how it makes sense to go with a new head coach, especially one that hasn't won anything.
Oh, sorry for misunderstanding. Yeah, could see that happening if Lightning aren't in the "Cup" mix yearly after reaching such high-marksI meant more so like next season and onward.
