What does this mean? Do we go for it like crazy now?
I kinda hope we stay the course but I doubt that will happen now.
We can't 'go for it.' We are way too far away from being a contender right now.
If we try, we will fail and end up with a completely gutted team.
Exactly. The GM has an obligation to do what's right for the team, not the other way around.
IMO nothing will change.
With solid consistent goaltending and a few additional pieces (top 4 D and top 3/6 forward), I think this team can make some significant noise in the playoffs. The huge question mark right now is who are we riding with as our goalie for next year. Honestly can't remember when this team has gone at least 3-4 seasons without a goalie controversy....
Biggest problem is the accumulation of dead weight, freeing that money and roster space is vital to our future success.
I'd love to see Neil Smith given another shot at a GM job... but most likely someone internalGood for him, Murray should be able to dictate when he goes. Be interesting to see who replaces him.

he won a cup in NYR in 1994, twice voted GM of the year by the Hockey News... he did a very decent job in NYR got fired and never got a shot againWow really? I never thought I'd hear someone say that.
You guys realize Alfie is being groomed for his replacement right?
It's not like he called Matt O'Connor and wooed him to Ottawa or anything.
