I don’t know what else Phillips and Pelletier have to do to get legit NHL chances. Grow several inches and lbs? It’s frustrating and worrying. What if Wolf gets wasted away in the minors? I’m genuinely starting to get scared that Coronato is gonna pull a Fox on us


I know this isn't to rent but, maybe we are lacking somebody to come in with a long-term vision so we could get a franchise player? Maybe the long-term vision gets influenced by ownership? My biggest rant would be that we didn't bring in a quality coach from the beginning when the guys were young. We really missed the boat and wasted a lot of valuable time with our coaching carousel. I remember when we first brought in BT and I was concerned that we didn't hire an experienced general manager, and in turn he didn't hire the right coaches for the team. I think had we had brought in the right combination of people we might not be where we are right now. It goes back to my original point, I think we need to hire somebody who has a long-term vision and can stick to it. I think that the way things are done now we tend to fill in a lot of holes season by season and sometimes the players don't fit as they should. We need to swing for the fences get a dynamic player and then build around that.
