SlyZen16 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 When we had Gillis, Aquaman, Sedins, Kesler, Luongo, Bieksa we were respected. Now we are the laughing stock of the NHL. Hopefully we land Bedard this NHL draft and make some good moves. Need to right this ship. We have hit rock bottom and the only way is up!

PetterssonOrPeterson Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Funny how we had a two man dictatorship running the show who were both justifiably canned because they had no idea what the hell they were doing. Then to "add structure" and bringing in a "bright, innovative mind" like Rutherford (lmfao), we hired him as the President, a new GM and like 50 other AGMs to boot. "StRuCtUrE" right? Just goes to show it doesn't matter how many members are added to a so called team of hockey executives. Tools are tools. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not seen at all making hockey decisions. Then again, no one else is making them. It's JR, and it always has been him. Allvin is the most useless GM I've ever seen.

Aqua came on board when the team was already in a period of success. He was not present prior to the WCE. But after 2013, he tried to hold on to the remnants of the previous eras. He refused to adapt because he was never a part of a rebuild and he still refuses to be a part of one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob.Loblaw Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Rutherford and management just pulled a Mike Keenan here. They are new to the team and are forcing their guys in without any respect to the fans. Wary Canes/Pens fans warned us about Jim. But some of us only saw the three cup rings and bought into the pipe dream. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were doomed when he believed his direction was better for the club than Gillis’. Gillis said to rebuild and Aquilini didn’t want to, so fired Gillis.

Popular Post Drakrami Posted January 22 Popular Post Share Posted January 22 (edited) May be if some particular fans show more respect to our past successes instead of bashing one of our more sucessful GMs on this forum? (Gillis). We could be a CLASSY enough fanbase to enjoy a respectable franchise? Over the years, the blame and scapegoating of Gillis is naive and beyond ridicious. Some are even stupid enough to still blame Gillis for failures of 2023, not joking. To many fans 2014-2020 Benning was the golden boy whose every move was perfect and is heavily handicapped by Gillis. Now the sentiment is of course totally different, again. Good to see we go through the Benning and JR era and take a look back to the Gillis era and recognize it is something to be treasured, when we were legit contenders.

The last ten or twelve years it's all you hear. Because we were winning, hence no need for him to. But now for the last decade, since it’s been obvious to everyone except apparently Aquadouche that we need a full proper rebuild, he’s done whatever it takes to prevent that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That absolute clownshow of a fiasco with the whole rachel doerrie thing when she literally got hired then fired in a matter of weeks was also probably a bad sign from the beginning as well. It's almost like this organization can't avoid being an embarrassment for some reason like it just comes naturally. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
