End of an era. Thanks for the memories, John. Wish you had informed the club earlier as it really feels like this was the direction you were taking all along. Would have allowed Treliving to negotiate RFA & pending UFA contracts with a clearer picture.

I'm going against the grain but I don't think we were winning the cup with 10+ million tied up in Gaudreau when we weren't able to do it when he was making less. The makeup of this team doesn't have what it takes to go all the way but that doesn't mean a team with Gaudreau wouldn't have been fun to watch over the next 5-8 years...

Bittersweet. Time for serious consideration of a rebuild but we know ownership won't go along with that.
