  1. I have a stomach to restock the bare cupboard with prospects and picks so the franchise can win for years to come. It's so bad right now. It's not so much the rebuild this franchise needs but players to push players when they don't play well or enough picks and prospects to trade to get the players we need when we are contenders. If it's taking steps back to do it that's what needs to happen. The biggest problem with the Benning era is that he neglected our prospect pool, farm and getting picks.
  2. I would say it's a loser mentality to accept a bad team. There is nothing this season that shows they are a good team, nothing. Should we just tank, no but the depth in the system needs to be replenished. We have nothing on the farm. We don't have enough picks to sustain ourselves to continue to add when players move on. I am sorry but the cupboard needs to be restocked and picks added. That the reality of where we are. The way the team is built now, it's proven to be bad. I don't really know what your holding onto, last year? Last year is just that last year and they started off terribly last year with most of the same players. Tells you they aren't a tough team mentally and won't be. I think it's funny they are talking about getting rid of another coach when it's been the same core over and over. Isn't there a reoccurring theme here? It's not the coach although I do agree they need a better structure to their game but the players are the main problem right now.
  3. Ya it sure has made a difference in the amount of wins we have. So we just stick with the status quo and hope it get better?
  4. Fanbase is ok with mediocre. That and our owner is too. Sucks for those who want to see a cup. Isn't that what it is all about, the cup? I guess for the owners it's money.
  5. That Stan Smyl press conference seems so long ago now where he talked about having an identity. It gave me so much hope. A year later and we are no closer to having one. I guess our identity is a terribly put together team. I think what's even more clear is that Aquilini's ego is so large he can't admit Linden was right. They very well might win the cup his way fifty years down the road so he could say, "See I told you guys Linden was wrong." Lol.
  6. Yes let's keep the same team together because it's done so well as a group. Makes no sense. We stink yet let's keep everyone long term. Hmmmmm.
  7. At this point I am all for a new owner who understands how building a championship teams works. One we can get behind and love. If we won I don't know for some reason it would feel cringy. Does he really care about fans? Not really. I don't know how happy I would be for them. They make so many poor decisions.
  8. It's just weird the amount of fans who don't want to do it properly. They can't stand the thought of years of building it back up but it needs to be done. That's just the reality. It's very hard to get both at the same time and we have been trying for so long without success. I don't get with all the evidence how fans continue to want them to go down this route. We could be having the same conversation five years down the road. Enough is enough.
  9. This guys response sounds a lot like ownerships thinking. It's a big problem. We are quite aways away from being close to Colorado. These kind of posts tell me how delusional fans are. Teams like Colorado have organizational depth that this club doesn't have. If you just want to look at the nhl club itself. It's really just ok. They are not good. People just want to add a few pieces for a quick fix. Problem is we don't have the assets to acquire those peices. We really are not that close.
  10. I know they are successful business people but it just seems like this is the laziest way to build a great team. Cutting corners and just hoping they make the playoffs for any sort of revenue just shows me how greedy they are.
  11. I just don't understand why ownership thinks a retool can happen with the cupboards being so bare on the farm and with the lack of picks. I could understand and back it up if we had a lot more to give up to acquire players but right now it just seems like a dumb idea to everyone that has some knowledge about hockey. I know money is their main goal. It always has been but at some point you just have to say we can't retool. Our prospects and draft picks have to be rebuilt. That's where I think they need to start. I just think they are wasting time doing it this way. If they could prove me wrong that would be great but it's been a lot of years trying to do it this way. I think it's safe to say it won't work.
  12. We can't even beat a last place team like Montreal. I don't have a good feeling about the next two games.
  13. We can't get rid of Miller now. His contract looks a lot like OEL's. Every team knows he's not playing great.
  14. How does that change the look of the team if we just sign everyone because we like them? We are getting to the point of having too many immovable contracts.
  15. Should we really consider signing Horvat? We sign him, it doesn't change anything about the team and in fact keeps the same personnel long term when we know it doesn't work.!I am a bit scared if they decide to sign him. There needs to be change.
  16. Hey guys one positive, Boeser only needs 29 more goals to get to 30. This team just keeps spinning it's wheels getting nowhere. These post game comments are like deja vu. So depressing. Apathy is settling in.
  17. It is Benning's fault though. It's his team still and no one wants his terrible players. We have to give picks to teams for them to take our players.
  18. He is just faking an injury because he knows he can't be traded if he's injured. Also it hides the fact that he's terrible if he isn't playing.
  19. Whoever Aquilini hires, the first thing he puts in their contract is absolutely no rebuilding. We only will ever retool, trade picks and assets. It's just crazy to think of how much wasted time they spend on these stupid retools that have never worked and won't. He will live by it just to see it happen and then say to everyone see it does work.
  20. Well why would he when the president keeps attacking his style. He's not coming back next year. We all know this. They want their own guy who has a defensive structure. I don't know how much clearer Rutherford can make it.
  21. It's only preseason. Lol. There's still 81 games left. There's still 68 games left. They haven't learned nothing.
  22. It's what happens when you have a team unwilling to work hard and don't really care about winning.
