Let it burn
I just want to go watch a fun team with some damn hope. Sometimes it feels like asking for the impossible from this team. f*** me for wanting a decent team.
I think I will have to take a wait and see stance on buying tickets this season. There is no one right now that I believe will make the opening night roster that I am just dying to go watch.

I think BA "lucked" into some unique situations.
- Ladd refuses to go on LTIR, so Lou paid to make him go away.
- He caught Fletcher having a moment with Ghost after waiting it out because he was so fixated on going big for Risto (oof).
- He traded cap crap for OEL, as we all expected, with the added twist of liquefying one of his middle age players. That's perhaps a novel concept, but it's a luxury you only get when your core does absolutely nothing. For years. Buffalo is doing the same thing.
The talk of "trying to move Dvorak" as if he is some kind of hot potato when every indication is that he shouldn't be is interesting. He may still tear up the roster further.
To me, it's not a major rebuild until you start moving out signed skaters. Goalies are made to be traded. OEL should have been traded the summer before. They didn't want to sign Garland. BA weaponized some cap space.
It's not scorched earth yet.

Agreed. I don’t see what his motivation would be to sign here but imagine if BA signed his old Blues pick Jaden Schwartz. If that happened, it basically evaporates our losses. Gostisbehere pretty much replaces OEL and Schwartz pretty much replaces Garland. Jaskin for Pitlick. And whatever UFA backup for Hill.
That’s one fairly big UFA signing and that’s it. That’s all it would take to erase the step back.
We have no minimal scoring, no muscle and only 3 defensemen at this time. Right now we can't even dress a full team. Still a lot of work to do. May just be watching highlights (I hope) of Coyotes teams.
Jankowski looks a lot like BA. There's a pic from the war room where you can't see their faces and it's hard to tell them apart other than the suits.

Smart choice. Paid for The Weekender months ago. Not a smart choice.
