I get what you're saying and think we both want the same result. It's just about how we get there that we see things a little different. Either way Chevy has to manage things right. There's a lot of wrong ways to go about it but very few right ways. He can't over play his cards either from either side or you will get burned.
Agree Duke that building a winning culture is also an important part of the process .... I just don't think at this particular point sacrificing a few pics to hold on to players like antro or Hainsey for 4 weeks of hockey is prudent ;-)
