I'm being revisionist? LOL

Tons of people around here thought Matt had huge offensive upside, and was being held down offensively playing on lower lines with Backlund and Frolik. I was personally one of them, but there were many.

Gio, then you move more than just Frolik and you start playing rookies. Long term health of the franchise vs trying to win in 3 year increments. It's always been this way with ownership/management, and it's patently stupid.
