I think that people need to just take a giant chill pill, especially through the end of the draft and the off season and through next season.

I can't wait till we take _______ at #6, because whomever carried a torch for any of the 3 likely guys (Nichushkin, Monahan, Lindholm) will flip out that we didn't take the other guy that's remaining. Similarly when it comes to #22 or #28.

The team is not good. It takes time to fix that. Whining makes the team more apt to take shortcuts which sabotages the chance that we have to become an actual contending team. This is part of the reason why the Canadian teams have not won a cup in 20 years (and even then it was only because Roy was in God mode in the playoffs). Too much pressure from fans getting all pissy that they aren't in the playoffs right now.
