This is not how rebuilds are supposed to go. We need to lose more
And that’s why we mire in mediocrity in perpetuity
I really hope this doesn’t go like the last two “rebuild’s” we went though, where we draft highly once, overachieve the next season, then think we’re competitive, only for it to collapse a few years later.
Suzuki and Caufield have proven that they are players we can confidently build around, but the rest of the team is a pretty big question mark honestly. We really could use another stud prospect, particularly up front, to really solidify our core going forward.
No worries, as the season goes along we’ll start trading players away and please remember we’re getting out of, by far, the easiest month (strength of schedule wise) of the year. His model shows Montreal finishing with the 10th pick and Florida also missing the playoffs so it’s looking pretty good!
I’m really hoping we move out some of the middle 6 vets and our goaltending regresses to the mean, then we end up in a bottom 5, or even bottom 3 position by the end of year.
Even if we miss out on Bedard/Fantilli, grabbing one of the next tier of C’s (Yager, Carlsson, Dvorsky) would set up our top 6 for the next 5+ years
Mister Hughes, please trade Monahan and Edmondson so that we can tank a lot harder.
Do it for the Bedard’s draft.
Otoh we’re likely to have 2 picks in the top 16.
how are the other Canadian teams that blatantly tanked for top tier talent doing?
Anyone think that we’re likely to trade up in the draft this year? If we end up picking say 10th or 11th I’m sure hoping Hughes finds a way to get up a bit higher through a trade. Would love to find a way to get between 6th-8th if we don’t end up there naturally
Good. Let’s have a competitive team with our current prospects and rookies as best we can even if it means falling a bit flat. No point in drafting top 5 for years if we can’t build around those picks.
Edmonton is not a success story, they got the best player of a generation and have 1 successful playoff run.
when dach and debrincat were traded my thought was this was Chicagos plan
