Management didn't even try to sign a key player (ROR) and halfway into the season when it was apparent the team had quit on their coach didn't replace him in hopes of sparking the team like the Sabres tried. Their management seemed very content to ride out the season without ROR and with a coach that they had to know lost the team. The backup goaltender even publicly admitted that players on the team never cared and it was comical how the team actually picked up their play after the comments like the backup goaltender was a better motivator than the coach and the sad truth is he probably was.

There.
Management didn't sign ROR because he was demanding too much, and it was only because of us that he finally signed. What about Subban? Did their management "Not try" to sign him too? The only reason Sacco stuck around for so long was because it was a old boys club down there and Eric LaCroix and Sacco were very close. But I doubt I'm going to change 99% of CP's perception on this so let's move on people
