This x100000. We aren't the Rangers, the Blackhawks, the Knights, the Kings, etc. All factors considered, when trying to create an appealing market to good players of all ages, whether its UFAs or young players, to sign or resign, we have to be conscious of perception/opportunity. Unfortunately as a cold, high tax, bad home arena franchise, the org needs to do everything it can to create an appealing atmosphere, and Darryl didn't do that (whether you think its warranted or not).
