I see. But they would need to win the lottery. I hope there's another plan.

So I'm making a banner for the Optibus... Should I go with, "Lose for Hughes!" or, "Hughes gotta believe!"?

There is likely a happy mix of not wanting change, its a place where pressure is not bad and the leadership change is a step in the right direction.

If it's not Tavares its not worth it

Yeah. Go for the home run w/ Tavares. Otherwise, go with a full kid re-tool, trade fro youth and move onwards.

Any of these other guys will just end up killing the team for years to come.

He should land a late first by himself at the deadline. Back to back 20 goals season.

I'm not sure why you want to get rid of him so bad.

- deadpoulet


I agree. He is a trade deadline guy, not before hand...

to me if he wanted to re-sign there it would be a done deal already

Lou only took over yesterday, in the end it may not change a thing but I felt more confident that he was leaving before Lou came along

Maybe.

Could be a good tactic for getting more money too.

Could also be him waiting to see the new direction of the team. Lou was certainly a good step I think.

He may leave, I just get the feeling that like Stamkos this will drag a bit longer than expected and then we will all learn he resigned with the same team, probably for less than max by a decent margin and Toronto fans will be left wanting again. Another local boy too scared of the spot-light.
