This is what I'm saying. How bad does it have to be for that guy to be balled up in a corner about this team. I need more info on 2023 prospects NOW from him. Don't worry about the next two years.

Who cares? Not to be a d!ck, but they've spent to the cap every GD year.

I'd rather watch a bunch of kids who are going to go out and skate their balls off than a bunch of overpriced slug vets who couldn't care less anyway.

Hit or miss those boys.

But I do laugh when Rivet tries to say ANY European names.

I disagree. The assets you're trading today are much more valuable than the ones you traded 8 years ago.

The composition of this team now is loaded with high draft picks. The scenario resembles that of 2014, but what we have on the roster today, and what we'll have tomorrow, is far superior than what was going on in 2014. Plus, Jason was semi competent at the draft table, and also didn't trade away the last remaining viable prospects.

I'm looking forward (as much as one can in this situation) to the players we'll have here, plus the returns from Sam Jack and (please God) Risto.

Good post, I agree with majority of where your thought process is....Terry now has a new shiny toy he likes in Wright...Terry tried very hard to get McDavid...Terry will sacrifice culture and growth this season to acquire new toy...same owner, same mindset, same result.


Younger more easily influenced roster, higher risk of failure.

Taylor Hall will be there for a minute making his travel plans and being largely uninspiring.

I don’t mind Howard and Jeremy in the morning, but the Instagators definitely is not my cup of tea

I'm not saying that I do. Trading Jack is going to be embarrassing enough. But trading for anything other than players in their teens or low twenties is an absolute blunder if they're not the centerpiece. If you're building a team, fine, get everyone on the same development path. Let them all grow into the game together.

And make sure you have the right (frank)ing coach.

Who cares its a hockey player. Were not trading our mom away. Guy doesnt want to be here so frank him.

We'll find another Jack and another Sam and another Risto to bash.

There is really only 2 people that are the reason we are where we are and they own the fvcking team.

It's all just hard to imagine. They didn't conduct a GM search, and now we're counting on Adams to lead a rebuild. He's doing an extensive coaching search, to lead a tank season? It's completely backwards.
