Re-watched Torts' end of season press conference 2 years back...the guy doesn't get enough credit for being the very first trigger for this rebuild. Blatantly called out the lack of youth on the team several times.

I remember that presser well. I was on and off the Torts train all year long, but the guy was not the coach we needed at all. I laugh at all the people who said "You wait and see what he does with CBJ this year, you'll see". Well, where are all of you now?
Nevertheless, he nailed it with the core being stale, rebuilding on the fly is tough to do, but not impossible, you need to have some luck, and some prospects that are somewhat ready to jump in right away, and cap space, or moveable players. We were working with a short hand.
Add in the question about what ownership says about roster moves and who's to say Tort's was the guy responsible? All I say is he was the 1st one to put it that way bluntly in public. Then he and MG were fired an they still tried to compete.
So yeah I find it interesting, but still don't think he was the trigger. Maybe I'm wrong.
