Our prospect pool consists of . . . Podz.
Our team is Ottawa bad.
Myers is here for how many more seasons?
Edler is how old?

This isn't some 110 point team, with a prospect pool consisting of a future Vezina level goalie, a future Captain/Elite 2C, a future NHL D, a 6th OA pick, Tanman entering into his prime, like Gillis left us in 2014.

A quick sell off at the deadline plus some wise free acquisitions and salary dumps for the following season are a must.
You have to show the meal tickets that signing their lives away to be here gets them more than just money but gets them their professional goals as well.
I know we have deep scars from Benning but I think they should absolutely be attempting to be a playoff team next year. If it continues to fail. That’s when you make the Miller/Horvat moves.
