Very realistic

Ya. I’m sorry but just adding toffoli does not put us in cup contender status. We need bold moves, boom or bust type. Right now as I look at this team it just screams average. Not bad but not good. Minnesota Wild territory. If we could add toffoli and a 1a goalie maybe the pushed the needle closer. To me as I look at it is unless we get a complimance buyout due to
This whole situation, then there’s no chance at us being a serious contender.

If Sharks got a compliance buyout who do they buyout? They have a few good candidates.

I'm not saying this makes us a contender, this is just what I think will happen. I've made a few past teams without compliance buyouts where I still think we are a good team.

Vlasic or Jones, but most likely Vlasic. Longer contract with more money, but at least he can play. Still probably bought out, though.

I'd guess Jones, from an outside perspective Vlasic is the obvious one, but I don't remember any instance the coaching or management showed any actual disappointment in him. While it is clear that Jones is trying to be removed.
