I don’t know where the exact tipping point of accountability is, we are approaching it. The Pettersson situation was created by Benning by not giving him the long term contract he wanted (as an example). I think next year when many of the contracts end and the cap situation improves significantly is when it will be fully on this group, but at that point I expect to be a dark horse for the cup or it’s a failure for them.I don't buy that excuse for this season specifically. They inherited Hughes, EP, and Demko on under-market deals and that savings more than cancels out the bad deals left on the books in Myers, Pearson, and Garland. With the OEL buyout, they had the ability to build a competitive roster for this season and if they can't then it's on them.
I'm not saying they were handed an ideal situation but for this season specifically - if this team sucks again this season it will probably be because this management group's roster decisions didn't work out.
We are talking about a significant amount ofI dont buy any of those excuses honestly and I'm tired of the lowest bar in the world. Two years is more than enough time, especially when they identified the issues right away, took months to evaluate, and still did practically nothing for a year.
Team still has many of the same issues, still. Thats not on dimjim after 2 full offseasons, tdl, draft etc.
Dubas has been proactive, our mgnt has not, idc about different situation semantics, its about actions and results.
Complexity here. Two years is (one was in year with the roster set) not very long.
