God I'm sick of this rhetoric. The losing is already happening. It should be plainly evident to everybody that this team is nowhere near good enough. It's also saddled with depreciating assets, some of whom are UFA or near-UFA. There's a logical course to take in such a situation and there's an emotional course to take. Choose your side.
It has nothing to do with wanting to lose. Some people can see beyond the next game on the ice and hope to bolster the organization's chances of winning in the future. There's a worthwhile debate about whether or not trading assets for futures achieves that.
But there shouldn't be any debate about what situation this team is in.
