If there's one thing this board is not rooted in, it's logic. People just never own up their bad takes.
This team just went on a five-game winning streak and barely budged. There's no realistic amount of winning that's going to get them out of the basement. But people still worry about every loss because they refuse to think things through logically. Nothing is getting jeopardized and it's obvious Gorton/Hughes have (rightfully so) no intention of tanking. Because you don't need to tank to rebuild.
You need to tank to rebuild. This is proven and has been done for decades.
You think Arizona management is trying to win? 12ufa players , all scrap and washed players. Banking picks. If it's not tanking i wonder what it is.
Perhaps the players on the ice are not tanking but it doesn't need a huge understanding that they have 0 f***ing talent and non talented roster except for like 2 players.
Habs are doing the same.
Toffoli was traded due to his value being at the highest.
Hugues and Gorton are not in position to compete when they yave to shred bad contracts and you do that by selling and then you put a shit roster to get thr the best pick possible.
Also this is a tank thread , this team sucks , the roster is filled with secondary players overpaid.
People are so blind from the lack of talent we missed for decades they think Chariot is a top 4 dman in a good playoff team.
Salary cap is full for next season and people think we will get 2 ufa in Letang and Giroux we will be a playoff team lmao
