Not even a single top 4 pick in that span unless this year we win the lottery... We suck at sucking.tonight is the night where we finally can officially say this year was the ninth failure in a row

Historical futility!tonight is the night where we finally can officially say this year was the ninth failure in a row
This sounds depressing...Why must it be made so......Still need one more year to achieve truly historic futility, which is the point that I call it quits.
The actual sad thing is that it has a good chance of happening if we bring back a Ward/Darling tandem and don't upgrade our top 6, along with having Pastor Bill still coaching. I think we could potentially upgrade our forward group but the other two things I'm not sure about. Will that be enough to make the playoffs? Don't bet on it.Still need one more year to achieve truly historic futility, which is the point that I call it quits.
Play a game? Yes... Play Ice hockey? Probably. Play it well. At least in the last nine years that verdict is in.Do we have to?
I'm not even convinced Ward being back is THAT bad of an idea (though obviously I'd like to see an upgrade) but I'm not just on the #DarlingOut train I'm the f***ing conductor.The actual sad thing is that it has a good chance of happening if we bring back a Ward/Darling tandem and don't upgrade our top 6, along with having Pastor Bill still coaching.

Ward would work fine as a back up. If he or Darling are starting 40-50 games, we're in trouble though.I'm not even convinced Ward being back is THAT bad of an idea (though obviously I'd like to see an upgrade) but I'm not just on the #DarlingOut train I'm the ****ing conductor.

Maybe for a guy like Bobby Ryan or Andrew Ladd. But I'm not sure even those teams would take on Darling's contract to just get rid of theirs. Darling is looking like not even a NHL level player going forward. We might as well buy him out if we have to take on another horrible contract just to get another overpaid player who might still be a NHL player (for now, anyway).There's got to be some underperforming skater not worth what he's getting paid somewhere that could get traded for darling if we retain. Maybe someone like Gaborik? I don't know I'm grasping at straws.
Do-it-yourself poor man's expansion draft.I say we sign a bunch of has-beens in the hope of finding the next Eric Staal, and sign a bunch of backup goalies in the hope of finding the next Cam Talbot, and sign a bunch of KHL guys in the hope of finding the next Evgeni Dadonov, and hire a bunch of fired coaches in the hope of finding the next Gerard Gallant.
If we apply the principles of mass production and big data analytics, we should dedicate all of the organization's resources to signing as many of these people as humanly possible. I'm thinking like 300-500. Then we will be absolutely sure to have a decent coach, goalie, and first line next season.
If the multiverse theory is true, then a good Canes team has to exist somewhere...I say we sign a bunch of has-beens in the hope of finding the next Eric Staal, and sign a bunch of backup goalies in the hope of finding the next Cam Talbot, and sign a bunch of KHL guys in the hope of finding the next Evgeni Dadonov, and hire a bunch of fired coaches in the hope of finding the next Gerard Gallant.
