Yes changes were/are needed. No question and I fully agree the team looks refreshed.
This club will suffer greatly when they lose their whole second pairing in the next couple weeks as it is....now add in moving the Vezina level G, top goal scorer and 88 on top that.
They will be replaced by a small unproven NHL guy in net, Matt Coronato who has shown he is not yet ready, and....im not even sure...Ben Jones maybe? And on the back end Kuznetsov and Solovyov who also arent ready?
Then ask your customers to lay down anywhere from 4K to 100's of K for tickets next year.
Would you pay to watch that?
Never mind the message you are sending your current group by sending the guys that helped get them here....away.
Its just really bad business all around.

It's easier to sell hope than it is to keep shining a piece of crap roster and trying to sell "just get in and anything can happen"
They've been doing ok at selling tickets with a bad team, why would that change if they had new players a d young promising players.
