stranger things have happened
also, no one would ever trade #4 now for #2-4 next year
I don't see who stops them from finishing 31st, especially if they trade Karlsson in the offseason. If you're Ottawa's GM, here is your plan:
Trade Karlsson for as many young players/draft picks as you can get
Trade Duchene for as many young players/draft picks as you can get
Take on high cap hit/low $ players with max term 3 years and demand sweeteners in the form of young players/draft picks
Give up the #4 pick this year
Keep prospects in minors developing as a group so they can learn to dominate AHL level
Hope like hell to spike Hughes next year
Bring everything together in 2022 and run over league
