This team is going to stink for a long long time. Still won’t rebuild. Still believe they have a good core.

Please go back and re-read what I said.

Done. The question is how can you make the prediction about the Russian Cliff drafted when you take a wait and see approach on 2 guys who have killed it in the leagues where they played (and they were the best leagues in their respective countries).

This is honestly worse than I was expecting, Scott saying 2-3 pieces away is all I needed to hear.
- ClaudeFather


He’s 2-3 pieces away as well. How do dullards like Dave Scott even end up in these positions? What does he know about building quality ice hockey teams??

Man I would’ve loved to have been a boomer. I could’ve ran this league at one point.

Haven't heard it but listening to the comments made, forget about it. They're done and will be until it sinks in.

Medical staff question. Whoever just asked that good on him. Perfectly asked.

Exactly, yet the fanbase lost patience during the Hextall years. You couldn't handle it then do you're going to tell me you can handle it now?
- MJL

Because he made ZERO sense? Maybe that’s why fans lost patience?

What was his plan? To acquire as much mediocre talent as possible? It’s been said for years they lack elite talent. They literally have had none. In a league that elite talent reigns supreme. He did nothing to acquire anything remotely elite.

Its two guys who are saying everything is on the table but there is only so much they can do in season.

Basically we need to just ride out this poopshow until the deadline and offseason.

Not that I have any confidence in what they plan to do then either.

Reading the comments so far, Chuck is a good bullshcitter when it comes to fooling his boss. Good lord. Told you people this isn't rock bottom.

Yea so does this thinking mean that Giroux is being resigned? I mean if they truly believe they are only 2-3 pieces away, let’s keep G around!

Gotta say, I really don't need team executives holding pressers just to commiserate with fans and talk about how they ALSO discuss how bad the team is everyday. I need executives to say things like "this is our plan" or "we're going to do this" not "we'll see how it goes in the off-season".

This feels like utter denial of where the team actually is.

No sh!t. What did you think they would do, just stare back and be silent?

The answers are what's troubling.

About the only thing I agree with what has been said so far is the need to become a bigger/heavier team.

Of course that prob means resigning Risto and overpaying.
