Playing for pride every year results in playing for pride every year. If they don't change what they're doing, every year they'll be on the outside looking in and telling us that at the end of they year they're still trying and playing with pride. Just shut up and lose already.

I’m actually okay with whatever happens. This is a weak draft year to begin with and with minimal scouting and development this year for prospects it’s an even bigger crapshoot.
I don’t think we’ll draft anyone franchise changing whether we pick 4th or 5th or 8th or 9th anyway. I’m not even convinced 1st overall will be overly franchise changing this year.
If we’re going into a rebuild I’d much rather save our chances to win a lottery for the Shane Wright or Connor Bedard drafts. If we only have 2 wins in a 5 year span I’d prefer to win one of those years.
This year is a write off for me. I’m just enjoying the hockey and whatever happens happens.
