There's no light "soon", there's just the potential to avoid a pointlessly extended darker period.
It's stupid to waste this year (and heavens forbid even beyond) on Carlyle and his stupid antiques when the question of whether we can still do something with this player material available to us is up in the air. If a retool or a rebuild was imminent or in process, sure, who cares. Tank as hard as you can. I wouldn't even mind because at that point you have willingly acknowledged that the Getzlaf-Perry-Kesler-Eaves competitive era is over and you no longer aim to go for it with those guys.
But if the plan is to attempt competing, if the plan is not to get in the way of the development of our defensive talent in particular, and if the plan is to do anything else but annoy the hell out of Gibson while telling him to suck it up because it's the nature of the business... We need a change. And the faster that comes the better for everyone.
