"You" means you, personally. You're in charge of the roster that just miraculously got Dahlin, and Ilitch tells you he wants another high pick the year after. What do you do?
Bear in mind you can't undo what's already been done (bad contracts are in place, you can't trade them just because you want to- you are starting the day after drafting Dahlin with the actual current situation in place). Dahlin makes our D a lot better. We assume the players will not purposely tank even if you tell them to. Assume Blashill will also not purposely tank even if you tell him to. And even last season, the worst Wings team we've seen in decades was "only" 5th from last with basically no prayer of ever catching the Sabres.
What's your plan?
** I'm worried the tone of this post seems argumentative. It's not intended that way. I'm just curious and want to see strategies and interesting ideas.
