I’m not sure what of my post is conspiratorial.
Until Patty has done any of this, it’s just theoretical and potential and none of this could happen and none of it is guaranteed. If he’s able to get those players in trades without losing Zegras, Drysdale, McTavish, terry, our 2022 1st or 2023 1st, that would be unbelievable.
It’s more likely he is interested in creating a strong foundation for the future than sacrificing the future to fill our current holes with immediate impact players to give Eakins a fair shot. It’s just an odd comment when nothing in the off season is guaranteed and what IS guaranteed for this team as it it is right now is being in the lottery.
