The funny thing. Is im watching this "debate"... But its not much of a debate.
We sucked this year, I was "happy" most the year since we were losing, I wanted a Good Pick.
I was also really happy to see Bertuzzi, Mantha, Larkin and AA play well. I am glad they did well. And yes, i did secretly (not so secretly) hope they would lose the last game so Buffalo picks 7 and not us.
Overall I am fine with how things turned out. Our players developed. Our team is "improving" even if it doesnt look like it.
Also we should be adding a good player this year. That is also good.
Our GM is moving valuable pieces for more draft picks Nyquist and Tatar.
And he's waiting out the unmovable contracts because (he has no choice here).
It is as it is guys.
If our team becomes good in the next 5 years. The current players we have will have to be a part of that. It looks like there is some promise there.
We are also going to need help... we have some promising prospects as well.
Overall this result is MUCH better than us finishing 13th or 15th OA.
Things are entertaining. I like seeing how our team will rebuild. We all argue here (maybe too strongly) over what we think is the right way to do it. But there is no right way. I think the last 2.5 years of rebuilding has been working ok so far. I like the future of our team. Lets hope our scouts do better than average, because we will need them to.
P.S. stop talking about "winning cups" as though you have a solution about how to do that. the ODDS are we will not (nor any team) will win a cup in the next 20 years. Odds are against you. We may have forgotten that being spoiled with all our wins. TB is the best team in hockey right now by a mile.... Who wants to give me 5:1 odds on betting against them winning the cup this year?
If someone gives you 10,000:1 odds on anything, you take the bet. If John Cougar Mellencamp wins an Oscar, I'm going to be a very rich man.
