He’s no different than any other player at this level. Players need to be reigned in though. Him wanting to prove something now at the cost of next season wouldn’t be worth it. Id like to see them ease up on the amount he plays at the end here. I think he’s shown he’s back to his old self. Not much left to prove IMO.

Yep and that’s all good. I’m not arguing against implementing the system. Ive been pretty consistent about arguing against a few things. Hughes’ ice time, Our top forwards ice time vs bottom 6, and Demko’s load management. Even if we’re not getting a top pick these things are important. The last thing we need right now is an injury to one of these guys because they’re playing too much. I’m also not seeing much development in terms of a supporting cast. Joshua and Aman have had their moments but I’d like to see more there. Try different guys in different spots and see how they do.

Like I said I’ve been a fan long enough to know the story. Doesn’t make me depressed I’ve accepted it now. Im not gonna sit here and pretend everything’s rosy all the time either. I do still enjoy talking about my team whether I agree with what they’re doing or not. Im still very optimistic when it comes to alot of aspects of this team. This is one thing I feel pretty strongly about though. Trying to win in garbage time and getting a worse pick doesn’t accomplish anything. If the players wanna feel good about themselves and the team then they need to put the work in in the offseason. This isn’t proving anything other than we can win with a few players deciding games.

I’m not gonna get into it again, but I don’t believe Miller will be that center for us when we’re actually ready to contend. We need another center coming up behind Petey for us to have an actual window to contend. The worst thing we can do is shorten our window again. We saw that enough under Gillis and Benning.

Yea some people take it too far, but I see alot of it as just venting. If you can’t vent here where are you gonna vent? I personally think one of the missing pieces for us is another elite center. Maybe it ends up being another right shot D. It’s gonna be tough to see us miss out on all those top centers at the top of the draft though. If we end up 9th or 10th and grab a top D I’ll be happy. But it still won’t change my belief that we need another center. That player will be hard to find outside the draft.

It’s not the one and only way but more often than not it gives you a big piece to the puzzle. With 15 games remaining Id rather try and get one of those players who will help you for the next 15 years than winning some meaningless games. You can paint it as a “tantrum” but it’s just frustration from fans who have every right to be frustrated. The end goal that everyone wants to see is this team improving. The whole us vs them mentality is pointless.

You really think I’m seething. It really doesn’t affect me as much as you think. Just tired of watching the same formula get repeated again and again. Hoping to see a championship before I die like everyone else. I hope I’m wrong but I’ve watched this play out enough times that I’m pretty confident I’m not.

If this team was losing out or winning it wouldn’t change anything for me. Tocchett’s real work begins this offseason and then training camp. This stretch of games means nothing, it will always be if they can start the season well with what should be quite a different team. If winning and changing the culture accomplished what you’re claiming we would have started this season off well. Does an unproven rookie change things? I dunno did it change things for Seattle? Did it change things for New Jersey? -

So drafting high is a “golden ticket”? It’s like fans don’t even follow their own history… The two most successful times in this franchises history was from drafting in the top 3. Trevor Linden 2nd overall and Danie and Henrik 2nd and 3rd overall. But keep telling us how top 3 picks are just golden tickets. -

I’ll weigh in sure but at this point I’m pretty apathetic towards this team. It’s clear mediocrity is the goal. -

Lol okay. That’s why you see top teams mail it in against bottom feeders every night. The Kings playoff position is secured. You really think they’re gonna empty the tank against us in the middle of March? This honestly happens every season. We won a few games late and fans are right back into believing the team is something they’re not.
