100 percent I would either know they were staying or maximize value. I would not have hoped that two elite players would stick around to play on a team that could not make the playoffs in the powerful Canadian division last year.

I've come to accept that this management (and probably ownership) is not high on the asset management game. It's about playoff revenue and making the playoffs. Don't expect the team to properly rebuild, it's about getting in the playoffs and hoping for the best. Not intended as a slight, it's just the reality. Their actions have spoken for themselves. Let's hope we can get some players back who will be happy to play here and not bitch and moan about having to play in a small Canadian market.
