Yeah their drafting has been pretty abysmal considering the pics they had. Not a gold standard there at all. :lol:

Every team has misses.

 

They filled key positions through drafting something we haven’t been able to do.

 

The jury is still out on Lafreniere and Kakko.

Their team/city can handle a rebuild, especially one in which they win lotteries. 
 

for reference, we are 31st in lottery luck in the league. Rangers are top 2.

 

would you really want to watch another season like this where we end up dropping 3-4 spots to watch NJ, NYR or Philly jump up another 10+ spots? 
 

That rebuild model is a joke. 

Rebuild model is how Cups are won.  Not a whole lot of winners since 2000 without at least one homegrown top 2.

Trying to increase Boeser's trade value and lower Kuzmenko's re-signing value all at the same time. Smartest thing they have done in a while. Lmao, never in 30+ years have I seen our franchise so lost.

I don’t get it can you explain?

I was just listening to AC/DC's "Whole Lotta Rosie" and was thinking about tonight's game.

 

Then came here to see what was up, and found a "Whole Lotta Waaaaaaaaaahhhh!"

 

 

I’m glad people are speaking up about the direction of this franchise on this message board. It’s about time.

I'm mostly referring to how they handled the fans.  I think our fanbase would accept a rebuild as opposed to whatever the hell the untrained chimps in our front office are doing.

I think the point is for all the bluster about a "rebuild", they re-tooled on the fly instead........which, of course, is what almost every team does.  This "rebuild" myth is exactly that, a myth

Yup.  Look at our two best Cup run teams.  One led by Linden (our 2 OA) and the other lead by the Twins (our 2 OAand 3 OA). If we look at the last Cup winners we see very high picks as key pieces for those teams.  Just the Bruins and Blues that I can think of who don’t fit.  So 2 out 20.

No it’s not.  Teams dive t9 the bottom to get high picks every year, and the smart ones do it several years in a row.  They trade off their older assets for picks and create cap space to acquire more picks by taking on stupid teams (like us) toxic contracts.  How many veryhigh picks have we traded away in recent years to dump cap?
