    What happens if Jeff Carter has a comeback season with 30 goals.
    What is his avv contract? What if they make the playoffs and make damage
    On the playoffs. Never count this team out. What if they surprise and go to the finals.
    What do you do with the veterans ? Do you resign taffolli?
    I would like to hear your response.

      Carter finding his scoring touch would be a best case scenario for the franchise. Increasing his trade value is key this season. Ditto for Toffoli, as covered during the podcast episodes. Regarding the playoffs, that’s not the goal for this team this season. The goal is to find ways to transition the roster to younger players.
