I don't think any management group is turning this team around in less than 3 years now. There is nothing left to trade. There is no cap space to do anything with. Chia added Spooner and Manning to screw over whoever his replacement is next year (intentional?).
There are no reliable puck movers on this team except for Klef, that's it. Need 2 more fully hitting their stride in the NHL at least. Maybe some are here in development, but they are still 2-3 years away from being guys that can do a fully season at a high level. Got no wingers too obviously. Might not have any goalie this summer either.
Just too many moves needed, too much cap increases needed and too much asset value that needs to be built back up via the draft. Gonna take years. And the longer we wait, the more damage the OBC and Chia can do to make it take longer.

Ya, I think this pretty much covers it for me. I do think that a competent management team could do something with the forward group in less than 3 years, but the lack of cap flexibility makes that trickier.
But it's the defence and goaltending that worry me the most. Klefbom is great, but you can pretty much count on him to miss 15-20 games a season. Larsson is not nearly as effective and imo isn't a top pair defenceman when paired with pretty much anyone else. Nurse is looking like he'll top out as a decent top 4 but I dont think he's driving that pairing, and still makes a lot of questionable plays in his own end. Sekera is a giant question mark. Russell is playing 2-3 spots above his ability. And if the plan is that Jones and Bouchard are going to ride in and save the day in the next couple of years, then this team is doomed.

I think this deserves it's own thread. I'll try to write something.
