How so? By exchanging the core of this team, 2 of which have expiring contracts and have led this team to exactly nothing, and Monahan ( again who has led us to nothing), freeing up a ridiculous amount of money and FINALLY acquiring a young stud center. You think change is a bad idea?
Instead of that you lobby for what exactly? Keep the band together and HOPE for a miracle?
It’s time to look in the mirror. Without significant change, nothing significant will change.
Is Gio the answer? Nope, he’s 38 and on the decline.
Is Johnny the answer? Nope, he’s not built for playoff hockey nor does he excel at it.
Is Monahan the answer? He’s a solid 2nd line center but he’s not the answer as a stud 1st line center.
Is a young stud center to build around the answer? Yes, yes it is.
If you disagree, I’d love to hear a thought out retort.
