Hope is always a good thingNothing, and I mean nothing, like the Detroit situation. May want to try another comparison. Or try... anything? Maybe not.

Great the team will be a non factor in 2/3 years just like Detroit . The fan base will love that
Hope is always good
I hope for penguin fans they do win the cup again but its highly doubtful . Its good you think your smart and have a greater understanding of hockey I have to disagree lol . Have a good Holidays Good luck to the PenguinsOr... understanding hockey is always good. Did we re-sign Kunitz for 4 years? Did we sign Hornqvist to a 14 year deal? Did we go out and give our defense 8 year deals?
Did we keep making trades to try to get an 8th spot in the playoffs to keep a pointless streak going?
GreatNot only is this nonsense because we're trying to win right now and not prioritizing 2-3 years from now, but also because your examples of Detroit and Colorado didn't become non-factors when their stars turned 32. Yzerman won his last Cup when he was 37, ya nub.
Your plan is a wildly misguided pre-emptive strike with no basis in reality.
Great

My argument is so many people want to put the blame on JR, bottom 6, and Sully. There are legit excuses out there but the main reason our team sucks right now is because 87, 71, 58. The 3 stars combined with a lot of valid excuses are the reason this team is in a struggle to even make the playoffs (physical/mental exhaustion).
But every single game I read through GDT and PGT comments and it's "Ryan Reaves!" "JR!" "Sully!". It's bull****. Scapegoating the real issues. And I think @Jacob said it best - while there are bigger issues on the team, the ones that are changeable are sadly things that JR can do with the bottom 6. And even those aren't easy.
But it's just tiring listening to people focus on the smaller issues and just completely turn a blind eye to legit excuses/reasons and main important factors as to why this season is bad. It's just so easy to blame Reaves. It's easy to sit there and criticize JR. But that's a lazy argument, IMO. Very lazy.
THAT is what is so frustrating. The biggest issues are not fixable by any realistic actions. Either the bulk of the core gets their heads out of their asses and fix whatever is going on with them in time to make the playoffs. Or they do not and we hope that a long restful offseason does the trick, and fix the bottom in six in the off-season And JR hopefully is smart enough to realize this.
Lao Tzu once famously said that a bowl is most useful when it is empty. Meaning that sometimes your worst move is doing something, and often your best but hardest move strategically is to not simply fill the bowl to fill it. In this case unless they go on a major run between now and the deadline do not fill that bowl.
No, but I think it’s clear JR gave Sullivan a player he won’t use as more than a standard goon but will play every game for whatever reason. That can’t help the situation.
There was a breakdown in communication or whatever somewhere and Sullivan hasn’t adapted to Reaves well. It’s an interesting little red flag.
Great the team will be a non factor in 2/3 years just like Detroit . Penguins are 3 pts ahead of the Habs are everyone agrees we aren't good . What are the Penguins this season honestly ?

Completely agree. I'm not happy with Sully right now but he is NOT why we're a lottery team. This is on the players. It's up to them to right the ship. Except for Letang, he should walk the plank!My argument is so many people want to put the blame on JR, bottom 6, and Sully.
