Torres is just one more straw added to the pile, my comments were not specific to his loss (I think that was pretty clear). I am much more concerned about the locker room issues, lack of leadership, potential for frustration/anger from key players, etc. And while people like to argue that Havlat was worthless, it's not like we used his cap space for anything so far so it's still a net loss. Boyle is a net loss, even Stuart is a net loss when you consider replacing him with Mueller. Burns to D is a huge net loss for the forwards, with no replacement, and now we lost Torres too.
People want to be positive, I get that, but I'm preparing for a very rough season because that is what I expect. I see absolutely zero hope for a cup this season, so let's temper our expectations a bit and at least prepare for the possibility that this will likely be the worst Sharks team of the last decade.
