Blow it up?
How about making a change or two? To me the period of inactivity that resulted in the decay of the current club began at the trade deadline in 2020.
Some of the moves that weakened the asset base and created cap problems started before then.
It's just everything.
The UFA signings haven't helped.
The goalie and coach carousel.
Poor use of draft picks.
Lack of impact of new talent coming from within the organization.
Poor cap management.
I acknowledge I'm highlighting the negative here but even if things had broken a little differently with regards to player performance, I feel we'd still only be treading water.
IMO the best argument in favor of keeping BT is the fear they might hire another Jay Feaster.
