Totally agree. I'm fine not accepting subpar offers, I'd much rather trade Ellis, but persisting with the same core into their twilight years is just going to keep us as a mediocre team in the short-term with likely a major rebuild after. But I think a big part of that thought process is we are still a good team that is just being held back by a crappy coach. I'm not impressed with Hynes, but I think we're also just not a good team anymore. We have good parts but the overall mix isn't, and hasn't been, working. I'm definitely ok with turning over the roster a bit and acquiring some younger pieces. I'd rather it be others before Ekholm, but his number is up and he has the most value out of the available pieces.I think it would be absolutely stupid to keep signing guys into their mid to late 30s when we're already not good. They're going to get worse and we're just going to continue to get worse.
