Iggy, Tangs, Kipper, Sarich, etc
We'd be icing an AHL team.
now will fans continue to show up or will there be another Save the Flames drive???

A valid point.
But I think one big difference between now and 2 or 3 years ago is that there is a pretty solid group of guys in the 25-30 range now that can carry things for a while.
I do agree though, that icing a crap team leads to a losing atmosphere and makes for a very difficult hole to dig out from. Something to be avoided.
