This will likely be the route Bergevin takes. Retain on the 1 year deals you can retain on, Weise, and Scandella mainly.
If you're out of it again next year, you sell Petry and Tatar off, probably still get some 2nd rounders, if you're lucky a 1st.
Another top 10 pick entering the draft pool this year will have MTL in the conversation for best under 21 core in the league, KK, Romanov, Caufield, Suzuki, and hopefully Holtze or Raymond would have them looking at a bright future moving forward.
