JBo, I had hoped for more... Iginla though, he was pretty screwed. It's like me and you negotiating a sale for a car that for some reason you legally can only sell to me. And your wife wants to go to Greece to visit her parents. And you need the money from the car for the plane tickets. And their anniversary is next week. I'm going to win that negotiation pretty handily.
But sure, as much as I can see your POV I don't really agree with it one bit. I see him inheriting a rebuilding role from day 1, but not allowed to rebuild it until 2 years into his tenure. If I ask him to make the beds on the Titanic as it sinks, I'm not going to criticize the wrinkles. When he was given the green light, I'm pretty happy when what he did with the pieces he was given.
