I am preaching this on the Ottawa site so it is not a fronts thing.. We should let the players that they have played for at least the month of October. Let's see what we really have on the ice and what can be projected for later. There is always that player who played OK last year that finds the new gear. In Ottawa it was Pinelli and Gardner.I think they’ve learned from that (springer)- trading away first round picks every year doesn’t end well.
He hasn’t done that in a long time so hopefully it stays that way cause Hopkins is going to be a stud. Has all the tools for that to happen just needs to put some weight on and gain confidence but that’ll come.
I understand where you’re coming from with the players you have however there’s always room to improve lol and if they have the rights of players and there’s word that gets out that the player may come to kingston that brings excitement to the fans so yes the fans talk about that stuff and it happens everywhere not just here.. there will always be speculation- the what ifs and what not lol. The reality is there is a chance peininiemi comes here and if he does that’s great news for kingston who is notorious for being mediocre.
For instance if they added McCarthy and peininiemi that pushes guys like budnick down to the 5/6 d man and that would be by far the best defence corp that us fronts fans have seen ever. In reality both players might not end up playing here but that’s the fun thing about hockey. You never know what will happen.
This city needs a championship. That would work wonders for the city and organizati
Defence is not just a back 2 players it has to be a team ethic.
Also I still hve lingering doubts about Cputi and have a feeling that it may also be a hindrance for OA players reporting.
As to a Championship, I agree but again that was a Springer Mav problem. Now it is a Springer problem as I think he needs to pay his coaches better so that they do not jump at the first call to be an assistant in another city.
You get a championship by
hiring a good scouting team
hiring and paying a coach who is going to be there for a few seasons and can develop players.
establishing a long-term goal that says that the team will be competitive every year. That you will strive to have a team that replenishes itself with solid players every year.
You do not say okay this is our year and trade the world or settle for a team that is going to suck for a couple of years.
They have gotten rid of the star GMs Cooper seems to have the right idea, Sprnger now needs to listen to Kory and talk and look at the other Owners to see what they are doing.
Springer reminds me a bit of the old owners of Ottawa. Money was tight. The big difference was though that they found coaches that could coach and left him alone.
Remember Sprnger's promise to the city. Give me a new arena and i will fill it. Seems to me to a certain point the city would have been better off renovating the M Center and or building a new arena at the race track portion
