How long do people think proper rebuilds take? You cant get an entirely new championship worthy core in 2 or 3 years and If you do manage it it usually takes that core a few years to develop.
They might miss the playoffs for the 8th year in a row... it's starting to be enough time. However to Yzerman's defense, he didn't start with a lot of wealth to sell for futures.
In comparison, Sens will miss for the 7th year in a row and Dorion started with Karlsson, Stone, Duchene (cost : Turris + 4th OA + Bowers), Brassard (cost : Zibanejad + 2nd), Pageau, Dzingel, Hoffman, Ceci... They were all in their prime, Brassard was the oldest at 30 y/o
Not only that but Dorion already had in the prospect pool Thomas Chabot, Drake Batherson, Alex Formenton, Nick Paul, Colin White, etc, etc. Then, the first pick of the rebuild was Brady Tkachuk 4th OA in 2018
Wings fans are complaining about 2-3 guys that are overpaid? lol that wouldn't even be 5% of the damage Dorion has done.
Be thankful, Yzerman could do nothing and he'd still be 10 times better than Dorion.
