Now it is perfectly reasonable that an owner would have to approve large contracts to players, but obviously there is far more at play than that.
I think we had a really good GM trying his best, but being undermined.
So I have little faith that a new GM will have much better luck.
Hard to feel optimistic right now.
This is arguably the worst run franchise in the NHL when you factor in the building fiasco.

Inside knowledge from whom about what?
In the space of posts over time I might be missing plenty, but words like 'confirms' and 'obviously' tell me people have probably taken off their thinking hat.
The team has done little through a combination of bad decisions and bad luck. I exonerate no one, but 'worst run' is a nonsense level we are not even close to.
