Trade deadline is over pal. I have regulated. I was looking forward to getting better and winning the cup. Not so sure we did that now, but as a fan i am in it to win it. Just got my tickets for Philly on the 10th, Support the team always, probably from before you were born. but i am done mocking mgmt for the time being. But make no mistake, i do not like Sweeney as the GM of this team. He has had it handed to him and he has not done very much with it. Thats my opinion.
If you don't think Kase/Ritchie are an upgrade over Heinen/Backes than we don't really have much more to talk about. Anything Ritchie gives you is more than what Backes was giving by not playing lol. Currently the #1 team in the NHL and they added a guy in Kase who since 2017-2018 has production/60 numbers that are on par with Timo Meier. Yes health is a concern, but when he's playing he's 100% an upgrade over Heinen (and this is coming from someone who is considered a "Heinen Fanboy" by many here).
You talked about how all these teams got better in the Heinen trade thread. When I laid out why they really didn't, you had nothing to say. IDK how you can say you don't like Sweeney as the GM. The guy was given a team that had missed the playoffs in back to back seasons. Since he came in they've made the playoffs every year, they were in the SCF last year and 1 win away from the holy grail.

These were just quickly off the top of my head, I'm sure there are some I'm missing. I haven't even talked about the prospects, but you're going to sit here and say you don't like Sweeney as the GM? I think I've seen all I need to see with you and your insight. I hope you enjoy the site, but for my own sanity I'm going to just add you to the ignore list.
