Its not much fun for the fans either; watching your team be dismantled and become totally devoid of top talent and hope for that this organization can keep from tripping over itself in an attempt to get back to some level of respectability. Pierre Dorion our GM, at least I think he is, said the GM said this team had to compete for a playoff spot next year. Next year we hold 2 first round picks with at least a glimmer of a chance at another one. Dorion with the GM he refrenced , I suppose, decided to rebuild without a first this year. He moved Karlsson and didn't get a 2019 first back. He moved Stone and didn't get any first back. He was proud to have got Brannstrom a 15OA skilled but undersized left hand defenseman back to add to Chabot, Wolanin and Lajoie. In a redraft he could easily drop from there. This team needs to focus on development as a number one priority. The young players we have need some insulation to develop properly. The focus should be to take advantage of the rebuild they decided to go on to accumulate talent as early in the draft(s) as possible. Winning is what sports is about , but the very best chance to win anything or compete for a playoff spot any time soon have been shipped out the door. Listening to our GM tell us the rebuild is ahead of where they thought they'd be and that the marching orders are to compete for the playoffs next year makes no sense to me. Fun .. this organization has stripped most us all of that.
