Because we’re losing games and missing playoffs right? Idk why else you’d want to rebuild. In hopes to maybe make the playoffs isnt that the whole point? Rebuild, make playoffs, win cup? Or do you just not GAF about playoffs? No. I've been following for all 52 seasons. I'm tired of being content with just making the playoffs. I want the team to be a true contender once again. IMO, you don't get there by trading away draft picks just to make yourself a playoff bubble team.... Anyway. This is getting redundant. I've made several posts about why I don't like this deal and why I want a rebuild. I can't explain myself any more clearly and if some folks still can't see why, then I can't help you. I honestly hope that I'm wrong and all of you who like this trade are right.....but I don't think that's the case.

Rebuild cause there is no cap space, prospect, or picks needed maneuver the team for a cup win. What good are playoffs if the ceiling is a 2nd round exit. Didn't need one had we not inked Miller to that monster contract instead of trading him for flexibility and assets.

No long term vision, Impatience, and it’s clear it was never Benning, this is coming from the very top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t really have many other options. Teams will look at our situation and try to fleece us if we try to trade cap out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I'd like to see the venn diagram of people who liked the Miller signing and those who hate this trade. Let's remember, they're in this mess because they didn't trade Miller last deadline and then signed him to a huge deal, leaving only draft picks left to deal with.

KoreanHockeyFan Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 A lot of you are screaming at a blank wall. Once you accept the fact that this team was never going to tear it down in the first place, the less frustration you may feel. Management is not waiting for 18 year old prospects to bloom into NHL players while Pettersson and Hughes enter the end of the primes pushing the age of 30. I'm just as nervous as you all are with this re-tool approach, but no sense in yelling at management for not hoarding draft picks. It's not happening. It was never the plan.

Teams are gonna look at that and try to take advantage. Whatever route we go to clear cap it will be costly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
