This idea that it might not work or will fans be on board never makes sense to me. The product we have and have been getting hasn't been much better majority of the time. Detroit had more wins than us. Montreal has 1 less. Vancouver has 2 less. We're not missing much. I'll take a young team with hope over an old slowly declining team.

You understand that they have to actually ice a hockey team right? Just perpetually turning every good player into futures makes them nothing more than a minor league franchise, feeding the rest of the league with talent (see: ARI, who have been doing this for 25 years, and what has it gotten them?)
