ok guys
I have followed this team for a long time and I'm as disappointed as anyone! If you asked when we drafted Hall which we needed to do if I thought we would be Ina position to get Mcdavid this year I would have said no way but here we are. This is the reality, some of our current and future management has actually put us in this position it's no secret but here is the reality!
We had some good pieces on this team that we traded for nothing or let leave and did not trade them for picks when we went in the toilet. We have been rebuilding from the ground up ever since. Circa Flames who have done a great job of this.
I'm not saying this is science but until next year we really did not have anyone to trade that would a. Get fair value. b. Not leave a huge hole in the lineup. Up until now despite all of the bs on here regarding making a trade with one player for another there really were no options.
Our drafting sucks! Nothing past the top of the first round, no defensive defensemen, no goalie prospects, no 3rd or 4th line players.
What's the point? If we get a generational player this draft we will finally have some excess to use to prop up other areas. With the group of forwards we should have it's very hard to believe even this bunch cannot ice a competitive team. No choice but bite the bullet this year, and let our coach take us to Tambo land! It was very clear in the preseason where we were heading when every dman we have treated the puck like a grenade and the goalies couldn't figure out how to get square with the shot..
