[Cali Panthers Fan]

I'm fully on board with enjoying this team as it is, but I see some major flaws in this team that are going to be difficult to overcome (mostly defensemen and goaltending). It's for that reason that I myself am looking forward to the future rather than dwelling on this current team too much.

I absolutely love the current players, even the veterans, but I recognize that most of them will not be with us past this season, so it's ok to speculate a little as to their future, even if we are only interested to see what will happen.

I agree that every time Cammalleri scores a goal we shouldn't be talking about his trade value, and game time should be spent talking about the here and now, but once that's done, it's ok to think about it a little. I do not consider people putting together packages to trade him tomorrow to be worthwhile because clearly he isn't going anywhere until the deadline, and even then we don't know if he will go anywhere. Things will change between now and then and we don't know the landscape for any trades until we get closer to the deadline, so really it's kinda pointless.

Basically, this is a long-winded way of saying we should keep the talk of trading players at a minimum until it becomes evident that something is likely to happen. Enjoy the team. I was certain we were going to be miles worse this year and I enjoy being pleasantly surprised.
