Terrible returns for the players.
Terrible choice for first overall.
Lack of grit.
Coach sucks.
Etc. Like clockwork.

Serious question here, let's put all of our past posts aside for a moment.
When do you get tired of watching your team lose? When do you deem it appropriate to actually pull the trigger?
Obviously, it isn't 3 years, but honest question, when is that moment for you? Or would you prefer to watch a guy like Iginla fade into the shadows year by year until he's ready to retire?
It reminds me of how I treat my vehicles. Typically, my wife and I drive them until they don't drive anymore. We could very easily trade them in far sooner, but by then, we've paid them off, and want to just keep going until we're forced to make a change.
You know why we do that? Because we're cheap.
I am sick of cheering for a team that has missed the playoffs 10 of the 23 years I've been fanatically cheering for them. I just want to watch a team that can ice a competitive squad. if trading the captain, my favourite player, is what accomplishes this, then I'm ready for it.
I'm not trying to bash on anyone, or be some sort of troll. I'm just a guy that loves hockey and hates to lose.
