It's starting to look like the team would have been better off rebuilding but with this ownership group you just never know if that's even an option for a GM. I think right now the best option now is to try and get a little younger in the offseason by moving on from guys like Lucic, Ritchie, and Lewis and not replacing any through free agency. Simply force Daryl to pick their replacements from within the system. Pelletier has to be on the roster next season and maybe Zary as well. It's time to look from within the organization for solutions as free agency and trades have made the team more expensive, older, and worse.

It still makes no sense to me that Huberdeau was just offered the same contract they offered Gaudreau. Gaudreau has been the better player since he's been in the league. His contract would have taken him a younger age.
Team was afraid of another walk. IMO that's on Treliving.
The refusal to rebuild is on ownership.
