I disagree on the part where “losing “ Greene and Zajac is looked at as a bad thing .
That and I don’t think the roster is that horrible.
There are players that can replaced for far less cost = more cap space and younger .
It sucks losing experience and need some veterans on the roster but Greene is useless as a captian . I got sick of his “ meh ,
I hear you - I'd like a better captain - but honestly, I'm not sure what else he can say except:
"Vatanan costs us a goal a game with stupid passes, stupid decisions and the inability to actually cover anyone."
"Subban is terribly overrated and a liability defensively."
"I've been waiting for 4 years for Severson to show he's an NHL defenseman, yet every game is an adventure. His lackadaisical attempts at defense just KILL us nightly."
The rest of our D is AHL material, including myself.
"Blackwood is a nice kid, but too green as a goalie and he's hurting us when we aren't busy hurting him."
"Although the Bratts, Hughes, Gusevs et al are clearly talented - they have no idea what it takes to play in their own zone, have no one to teach them, and they cost us every single game."
"Hall being here is just bad mojo at this point. Great player, simply not worth 11m/7 to this franchise, unless we want to cripple it further".
"Every other vet up front isn't pulling his weight this year."
"This coaching staff and GM has crippled our ability to play hockey, with a stupid system, mindless personnel moves, and really zero encouragement or momentum or display of any sort of 'coaching'. Our special teams, 5v5 games, our own zone, the offensive zone... all of it is a complete mess of unprecedented terrbleness."
I mean - he could say all of those things and be right. Where do you frigging start? Does it light a fire?
This team is poorly constructed, poorly developed, poorly managed - it's just numbers thrown together with alot of potential and really no chance of gelling.
