You don't become that by impulsively throwing away all your assets every time you think you have a shot at a Stanley Cup. You scout, draft, develop, and have patience. There are no shortcuts to success in this league.



This is all speculation on your part. You're pretending that you have a crystal ball and know exactly how everything will unfold. Reality is, no one knows for sure how prospects will pan out or whether this team's free agents will sign here long term.

Hmmm...
