Re: Ownership and Management
So I think this team needs to find a way to move ep40 out. My hopes were high that he'd rediscover the missing magic but it's becoming painfully obvious that he is tracking to be not much more than an overpaid meh of a center. That ticket he's on needs to bring back offense not sound defensive awareness.
If they can find a sucker they best pull the trigger, even if you need to tack on something

Re: Ownership and Management
The truth is, like Dude just said, "good luck with that".
Had a chance before the NMC kicked in, but no one expected this team to go off the cliff this quickly with only two high-value players left in the organization... one whose mega contract is only into year 2 and the other you need to figure out how to maximize returns for or keep if he decides to remain loyal.
Whether you tank or try to "remain competitive", it's going to be years to even get anywhere near a window. If you continue to build around the Sulky Trophy candidate, he'll be past 30 and out of his prime... more likely to ask out to a contender even before then.
So Cuz, I don't disagree with dumping EP if you got a chance. Just blow it all up. Because it's damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Na I have just had enough. It's time time get out from under that one as soon as you can. The future is Willander, Cootes, whatever we pick this summer, what we can score for QH...time to get excited about some up and coming guys and let these ones shuffle on down the road

Personally it would be salary retention only.
No draft picks, no prospects

DeLevering since 1999.
Re: Ownership and Management
Your aim is high and to the right.
Right...my bad.

Re: Ownership and Management
Same here, always read them to see if I had a similar thought but also because I miss some games it was a good summary. I think Mëds is doing it now and a lot better than what I read in the local media.
Also liked Tops comments about the state of BC/Canada natural resources and mining industry.
