Wow, everyone here is pretty negative. I don't think our core players suck. Besides being in a slump, I think it has to do with the supporting cast.

It is clear to me, as it has been since the summer, that we are not trying to win this year. We are using this as a transition year.

MG is planning to make a push next year. The cap will rise, there will be a half-decent FA crop, we can get a better draft pick as a middler and make the big push when we have the flexibility.

I saw this coming. That's why he just went for bargains in the off season. See how our youth performs, our new coaching staff does, restock the cupboards a bit, more cap space and more options. Then go nuts.

What the hell does that even mean?

We are not trying to win because this is a transition year? What even is that?

I don't care if you're the Pittsburgh Penguins or the Buffalo Sabres. You play every game to win. There is no such thing as taking years off and waiting for next year.

And what kind of plan is that anyways? "Take this year off because the cap is going up and there's lots of free agents!" We'll guess what bud, we're not the only team in the league. This isn't NHL14 where you can force trades and signings. For every player we want, there will be other teams that want him more, can offer him more, or that HE wants to go to more.

So no, let's not write this year off because we'll sign all the free agents next year. That is not a plan. That is idiocy.
