I wonder...how many of you are really committed to the notion that you want to be piss poor in an attempt to secure the better chance of a McDavid/Eichel prize?
I have a hard time with it. I understand how fantastic it would be to land a prospect of that caliber, but combine the fact that it's no guarantee we get either of them if we finish near the bottom with the idea that I always want my team to win... I don't know. I get the sense that I'm in the minority in rooting for us to win games... Is that weird or wrong?
I feel as though some of you would truly be upset if we snuck into the postseason.
Would a 9th place finish in the conference be that devastating to you? It would mean an improvement from youth and would signify an expediting of our rebuild... Fighting at the end of the year playing in meaningful games down the stretch? I don't see as much harm in that as some others, I guess.
Give me some clarity or talk me into the right mental state, please.
