If we lose Stone, Duchene & Dzingel like it looks now, we will have lost our 5 best players in under one calendar year and none of them were even 30 years old.

Karlsson
Stone
Duchene
Hoffman
Dzingel

That's an insane amount of talent sent packing, especially if we end up adding Hughes to that list.

What's even crazier is that all of those players are just hitting their prime and having the best seasons of their careers. The goal of drafting is to develop players so when they finally put it all together, you make a run. We drafted players, developed them, and just when they hit they're prime, we traded them away or let them go. And we're going to do the same thing over the next 5-6 years? Cool.

Karlsson - On pace for his best season since 15/16 and 2nd best point total of his career
Stone - On pace for his best season ever
Duchene - On pace for his best season ever
Hoffman - On pace for his best season ever
Dzingel - On pace for his best season ever

Yup, just a farm team for the rest of the league. Who cares about a rebuild when this is the reality when it comes times to pay good players.

Add Methot and Zib to that and ; you have a pretty nice core for a very good NHL team . Makes you want to cry

Ceci could have been traded for a forward with Chabot,EK and Wolanin running the back end. SMH.

If we'd somehow kept Ziba and Methot we wouldn't have sucked so much that we draft Tkachuk. It's one or the other IMO.
