I'd love to make the playoffs, but more importantly I want to WIN in the playoffs.
Hopefully management recognizes this isn't quite yet a championship team, but man do these wins demonstrate that we may not be as far out as some people imagine.
A few tweaks here and there at this years deadline may risk our opportunity for a playoff berth this year, but spell a greater team next year. Hopefully they do the right thing 
But more importantly: WHOOOOOOO!!!! |
I found myself over and over last night trying to envision what this team would look like if they traded Iginla. And the conclusion I kept arriving at was that if you traded Iggy for picks and prospects, and inserted Baertschi onto the team, that it really wouldn't look significantly different (from a results perspective).
My opinion on the Iginla issue iis that the strain of it all just becomes too much at some point. I think he will move simply because he understands that this will go on (and get worse) every year if he stays. At some point you simply accept it as fate.
And watching last night, I really didn't think that trading him would impact their playoff chances all that much.
Unfortunately, the thought of
being in the playoffs and Iginla not being here, isn't a very pleasant thought.
