If you think we are like Ottawa then we should be talking about trading johnny and mony for good returns and tanking.
I am not ready to give up on this core, and we are wasting precious time remaining on their value contracts. Now was exactly the time to give it a shot when a superstar player was actually available for futures.

A little over 2 years ago Ottawa pushed the eventual cup winners to game 7 of the Conf. Finals.
Turns out that was mostly a lightning-in-bottle situation, and the drop-off to reality was dramatic. Not totally dissimilar to the last 12 months in Calgary...
Of course there are tons of differences, too - but, the cautionary tale of trading away unprotected 1sts is 100% valid
