Should the Penguins Complete the Deconstruct Initiated by Ron Hextall?

The thought’s been buzzing around in the back of my mind for a while now and I figured I’d finally commit it to paper (or e-type).

As unthinkable (perhaps distasteful is a better word) as it would be, should the Penguins bite the bullet and complete the roster deconstruction (or destruction) unintentionally initiated by Ron Hextall?

Tragically for the fans and team alike, not to mention our former GM, most of Hextall’s moves wound up backfiring, including his deals last summer to upgrade our defense and the epicly disastrous Jared McCann-for-Filip Hållander swap.
