No way I would want season tickets knowing that the team will lose 65% of their games for 5 years.

There was a large contingent on this board who spent all offseason saying this was the only way to build a contender. Quiet group now but it is what many wanted.
I see it though. Chicago is not going to be good for a few years. When they are maybe turning the corner they now pay Hagel $6M per season? They tried to fast track things with Seth Jones and failed so it is back to the drawing board. Multiple 1sts is a good return even if they are pretty much a lock to be late.
