This team was just horrible this season and I find it crazy that they still feel they can spin this roster into a winner by shuffling a few deck chairs. It's insanity.

As a fan of the franchise I feel this ownership is a curse. I give them full credit for paying their bills and providing their GM with ample resources to build a contender but they are incredibly narrow sighted when it comes to team building and never learn from past mistakes. It's the same thing year as we discuss the same topics year over year as the ongoing futility continues year after year, decade after decade. This organization has advanced to the 2nd round of the playoffs twice since 1989. How can Murray Edwards look in the mirror and think he's actually running the team the right way? It's a joke.
Again....the day they traded Iginla was the day the rebuild started, so they have done it under Edwards.

Unfortunately the clubs highest ever draft pick which was supposed to be the guy to take this club places was a complete bust in that role.

So here we are.
