Or another argument when tallons team was dismantled and everyone argued our core was the same so it wasn’t dismantled even tho half the team was different. Well same here. Same core half the roster is different. Completely different team
Tallon did a lot to change the core. Horton and Ballard were gone immediately. Signed a bunch of aging NHLers and the team was pure trash in his first year (Dadonov was on that team lol).
In his second season was when all the big changes came. Flash, Versteeg, Campbell, Kopecky and Bergenheim were all brought in. The only one left from the previous core was Stephen Weiss after he traded Booth 6 games into the year.
This is a very different core and a very different situation. What Tallon did was a tear down. What Zito did was a glow up.
