We have Pearson a 20 goal man in his place Forsling is fringe and not a game changer nor ever will be Dhalen asked to be traded because he's an entitled pussy who can't handle being asked to compete Okay your right, JB is god and has done wonders for this team. We have improved so much in the few years he has been here. I dont trust him to make the right moves to win us a cup or be a contender. If you think so all the power to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I provided examples that your comment was flawed. JB has been good and bad, like every GM, no GM is perfect. He has done some good things (drafting) and some bad things (trades or holding on to assets too long, some of those issues are not his fault due to NTC's but he's blamed for it, or a lack of offers for our junk). The team is on the upswing, and this offseason I personally think is key for him to help this team make the next step and that will mean signing players like Myers/Ferland, bringing back Tryamkin early, and make moves that he may not want to make like moving Tanev and Sutter. I agree the team hasn't shown in the standings they've improved, but no one can honestly, objectively look at this team and not see a brighter future coming.

Would've been a lot closer with a bit of luck anyway. three posts and 2 -3 lucky goals for Vegas. Score looked alot worse than it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray_Cathode Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 So what. You can sure target top seven. Pettersson isn't a bad start. Don't mind Hughes either. We'll get a lottery shot at his brother this year too - even a decent lottery shot - if we are bad enough. After all, it's not the players that cause a tank, it is the GM that trades off every diminishing value that he can and strips the team so that the coach HAS to play the young guys.

On 3/10/2019 at 7:50 PM, canuck73_3 said: Pittsburgh had the same odds as Buffalo, Columbus, and the New York Rangers. Which means they had better odds than twenty odd other teams. The lottery doesn’t mean you are guaranteed a particular player, it means that you are guaranteed an earlier pick which gives a far greater chance of getting a better pick in each round of the draft (except the year where Pittsburg got Crosby because, as I recall, the second round was in reverse order. Just because you tank and get an early pick (the Edmonton formula) and still scout and develop badly, does not mean you will automatically succeed - you still have scout well and develop well. You can still pick high and pick badly (Yakupov comes to mind) - though that might also be a development issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling for realism and rationality is hardly whining. Someone slouching around accusing anyone that is appealing to reason a whiner is just a reincarnation of a fist dragging Neanderthal - who should just shut his mouth lest he end the mystery of just how stupid he is by proving it.

You seem angry about a hockey team and the fact tanking doesn’t work. Sorry its such a major issue in your life. Maybe get out more often, off the internet, off ps4, and interact with real humanoids.

By the way, You countered none of my evidence regarding the increased possibility of success due to gaining higher draft picks, cateris paribus.
