That franchise is in shambles, they cycle through prospects and trade them away before the player develops. It has been like that since the late 90's and things haven't changed a bit. How much of a chance did they give Niedereitter? Strome might be fine but he needs someone to play with. It will take more than a few veterans to turn things around and I can't see anyone wanting to play for the owner or the GM. I think that Tavares will be leaving after his contract is up and the rebuild will continue for another 15 years. Worst run franchise in the NHL, makes the Oilers look good.

Nielsen? Grabner? Plus bottom 6 forwards in Clutterbuck, Bailey, Martin. Strome, Lee, and Nelson coming through. Goals aren't an issue they are still 15th in the league.
D and G is their problem. But Snow has to go and same with Wang.
