Excellent article. I completely agree with the sentiment that we are ready for a re-tool.
As for the poll, what is played out in the media makes it seem like it is the problem of the team deluding itself into thinking they are good enough, but I also think it is a combination of a few different issues. Ken King tried to suggest that the owners did not meddle in the hockey decisions, but I don't think Keenan would lie about D Sutter's reason for firing him.
It is time to grow some balls and begin a re-tool.
However, Carolina, Ottawa and Montreal had some young gems in their system before their rebuild... I worry that we are starting further behind... which may mean a longer 're-tool'.
