Brad is the new Ward...we want blood
Just saying the next guy will have a really hard time too. Its easy to say draft and develop. You are competing with teams making good signings and trades while also doing those things.

Dramatic much?
We are evaluating a 7 year body of work
Some good drafting, and some bad trades that lost draft picks for mediocre on ice players and results. Other teams making good signings and trades while Brad has made a mixed bag

Now? A laughingstock
It’s not about blood, it’s about what this guy has shown. And where the buck stops.

He has to be accountable for figuring that out (or failing to)
