Fair, enough, lots of people disagree. Doesn't mean that the vitriol against GM and player (who is now a Canuck btw) needs to reach fever pitch.
And a lot of people like the speed dimension Sutter brings. That Aiken majority just isn't heard- it's being drowned out by the vitriolic negativity.
I think it's hilarious.
Year 1....wanted to get the team back in the playoffs and give the Sedin's a shot.....success.
Year 2....define core future players. instill youth into lineup and speed. Draft, develop and build for the future. If we stay healthy and the young guys step up. We can be a 100 pt team.?..or Key injuries, pouting veterans, bad coaching, young players failing.....losing streak. But the silver lining whiners?
Lottery pick and selling Vrbata Hamhuis and anyone named Higgins Bartkowski Prust Baertschi Burrows Miller for futures
But continue on folks the sky is falling. No matter how much you try to prove yourselves right in your judgement of JB. He will get a couple more seasons to implement his plan.
Or you can drink from the half full glass and watch a beautiful sunrise with....Horvat McCann Boeser Shinkaruk Gaunce Virtanen Hutton Tanev Demko and the soon to be 1st rounder that should be an impact player. That's 10 core players going forward. Combined with Sutter Dorsett Edler(if they don't trade him...I would) as the only post Sedin contracts. Throw in a E.Kane or Lucic or Ladd and you've got the makings of a pretty exciting future.
It's Benning and Lindens master plan and I don't see how arguing over how we spent Aquilinis money during a transition phase will even matter. But carry on being mad.
Me I'm looking forward to the game tonight.
