I like what Bill Armstrong is thinking here. The "tear it all down" consensus with ACGMs here is stupid, especially with the revoked picks. Despite Chayka's flaws, you can build a decent team with the core that he left behind, especially with Kuemper and Raanta there standing on their heads, and I still see them as a borderline playoff team in the Pacific. After the defensive contracts of Goligoski/Hammer/Demers expire this year, you can bring up one or both of Capobianco and Soderstrom and acquire a nice veteran piece to compliment them. It's not as much of a mess as the CW perceives it to be.
