This one is pretty easy.. Sweeney wanted a bridge rebuild . Which is stay competitive and get bounced in the first or second round of the playoffs. He wanted a rebuild with the younger players. But something went wrong and it was because the prospects and young players he might have drafted aren’t very good. Besides McAvoy and Pasta what young player on there your like WOW! Yeah he’s a keeper! So now he might move good players of the roster... Debrusk ( maybe) Rask ( doubt it) Carlo ( unlikely) DK ( maybe) don’t move just one of them and tell me your rebuilding or going for it. It doesn’t work that way. You can’t rebuild with Bergeron, Marchand, DK, Rask, Chara, Halak, Moore, on the roster , well not chara but the rest. It means no F/A , all drafting , moving players out on lopsided deals. Why they can’t figure this out is unreal but I’m not surprised. Here’s something for you are you ready for this .. if you wanna move Carlo how about seeing if you can get a number one center for him and drop Bergeron down on the the 2nd line C spot. That might work if you do something . Come on down JL,UV, your playing minutes now. It won’t work playing them 10 minutes a game .. scratching them for two games and going back in. Now would I do it..NO. But it would look like something I just said IMO.
What I would do is add on with the core. If they aren’t contenders which I know they will be , it’s all good. If come late FEB/MAR and they stink start moving good players for pieces probably not Bergeron but the rest make an offer. Plus don’t tell me you can’t get a first rd pick for any of those players when I see over the hill shit bums attract first rd picks. They will be some team that thinks they’re great and overpay. Trust me it happens every year at the TDL.
