They don’t have a good future ahead of them.
He’s standing pat on a mediocre team and ensuring that rebuild will be long.
I love when people use the word 'rebuild' for a 2nd year expansion team and think calling it mediocre is a bad thing. We are over-achievers if anything.
If management is pleased with the way this team is performing that’s another reason to fire management. This team is a dumpster fire night after night in their own end.
Being conservative isn’t a good thing. He’s a coward. He’s completely incapable of taking any risk, beyond repeatedly signing goalies to huge contracts before they play for his team.
There is no plan. Sitting around and drafting late in the first or getting a couple extra seconds isn’t a plan.
As soon as Carolina got a GM with a plan they started making moves and turned a bubble team with potential into conference finalists. Still on an upward trajectory since then.
Francis just doesn’t do anything and expects to win. It’s ridiculous.
Not doing anything to win would mean not signing Burakovsky, trading for Bjorkstrand, signing Schultz, etc. After last season, he made those decisions and changed us from a team that picked 4OA in the draft this season to a team likely to make the playoffs.
