If the team does that poorly, the GM and coach should both be fired.
No. Failure is not acceptable. This team has tanked it badly twice now, and traded away a high first rounder just last season. I want to see actual progress from this club. If it's not taking place, people need to lose their jobs. Simple as that. A holdout of a key player and injury to another is not an excuse.
Huh. This is what I said 7 years ago? Well, they at least got MacKinnon out of it, AND both GM and coach were essentially replaced. I guess I wasn't wrong per se...
