"They want a coaching change? No. There's not going to be a coaching change"
-Jason Botterill, February 20, 2019

They have 35 pts in 49 games since the streak ended. That's a 58-point pace and it ain't a small sample size. Our GM "sees the results on the ice," believes "we've made progress as an organization compared to last year," and "the coaching staff has done a very good job." Those are all direct quotes.

If you were wondering how ****ed this organization truly is if Botterill believes any of those quotes...

We really do suck.

They suck. We rule. We root for them. We show up more than they do, show more passion than they do, seem to want it more than they do. To a person, I'd take the people on this board in terms of character and effort, even the one's I don't like, over almost everyone in that organization. Seriously. Don't get down on yourself. But feel free to be down on that pile of cow patties on skates, the moron behind the bench, and the over-sized melon running this shit-show.

He is the guy who plucked the Blues three worst players for his one tradeable ace in the hole, thought a guy a year removed from HS hockey who had problems against mature players creating could handle #2 offensive center duties, and installed a guy with no experience behind the bench. What's to be afraid of?

I used to celebrate my Birthday, February 20, with the firing of Lindy, now I’m going to have PTSD thanks to Botts...

So if we get Hughes, do we trade Eichel to fix other holes while clearing the locker room of losing culture before it runs off on Dahlin? Serious question. It seems teams with much worse teams on paper constantly embarrass us. The Habs were a laughing stock last year, no center at all and went off the board to get one, but somehow turned cast offs Drouin and Domi into legitimate threats. How many teams with worse draft position turned things around faster and more efficiently then us?

Draft Hughes if we win the lotto, trade Eichel, Risto, and Reinhart to patch holes and fix the cap situation and start fresh with a new coach and opening day lineup made up from Rochester guys ready to move up. It's going to suck when it happens, but I think it's the only way to come back from the abyss. Patching in high draft picks to a losing team and locker room hasn't worked for a decade in Edmonton, something needs to change in Buffalo.

It's a situation and a scenario where we are ****ed.
