Was not too tough to guess who would have posted something like this.

Keep it civil, please. That's all.
Uh...oh. Should I be concerned about my "reputation"? Lol!
Anyway, I try keep it civil. And thanks for accepting the tank thread! In future worst case scenarios (that I believe will materialize) this thread will be excellent safe haven. Of course, on paper there SHOULDN'T be reasons to think tanking schemes seriously with current Jets roster, but somehow I tend to take it safely now based on seasons long perception of in-built inflexibility of Maurice's tactical schemes (I like him as a person, but not necessarily too much as a coach), and apparent lack of moral within the team currently. A NHL season is usually demanding and competitive enough not to allow periods of shaken de-moralization to continue too long, without that impacting also to a level of final results in the end of the season.
Then, as a typical Tele-TXT page 235 -generation Finnish hockey fan stats watcher (and clips/highlights reels browser), I find it sometimes hard to find good place for various rants with purposes to reduce frustrations (particularly in HFJets forums). You cannot be pretentiously "positive" with your low value rants, and if your idol(s) playing for the team clearly show some issues and underperform, where exactly you can nail your own little nail to a collective coffin in circumstances where practically every other fellow fan can make more in-depth analysis on a topic? I like draw MS-Paint graphs, but if there are nothing to draw I get frustrated enough to search elsewhere...
For example, the one of the best specimens of near past top prospects:
An example of Top Prospect that was saved from the Molok by successful process of rebuilding
I'm sure Jets would be happy to acquire such high performing forwards to fix our offense, and you can't buy these kind of guys from open markets, as we know.
Now, if/when Jets suck enough long that it becomes reasonable course of action to really start yet another tanking cycle and really try save some innocent top hockey prospect from the foul mouth of Molok Edmonton, for sake of The Hockey as the Game as a whole, it is something you (we, and everyone's aunt) need to do. Top prospects can be as valuable than their weight measured in gold, and no way can Jets be managed under a par set by that organizational abomination. Every McDavid -level, or Matthews, Aho etc. level saved prospect will justify the tanking season, that, I hope will be started soon enough, let's say at the end of December.
While waiting that fortuitous moment Jets FO declares their new 4 years project, we can use this thread for other purposes. Art, Literacy, High Philosophy, and for introducing new tank models to wider audiences...
But, that's all basic stuff, and there are certainly nothing positive in it!
