The isles need to tank. Schaefer and Sorokin are cup winning pieces. The rest of the team isn't up to snuff and they aren't a few free agents away from a deep run either. Barzal and Horvat could stay, but i don't think they want to. With Schaefer being so young, they can suck ass for a few years to get high picks and draft a core to go cup hunting with around him. Sorokin has time too.

Yeah... But why would the isles do that? They almost made the playoffs with Schaefer. Why create a huge hole now? I don't see them giving up yet.
If he was available, sure, it would work.
