The push back is what I don't get.
I don't think many argue that high draft picks are necessary, and I think there would be a vocal angry majority if the team loaded up this summer, or started moving futures now to bolster a team close to a playoff spot.
They didn't. They're not.
They moved 6 UFAs for futures and younger players. They moved their starting goaltender a two years before he will be a UFA. They carried 20M in cap space into the season.
The decisions are fine.
If that's the case I don't think you need to worry, as they seem to be on the same page. The team is winning, largely on the backs of young players pitching in more than expected.
Bad asset decisions, and no direction drive me nuts.
This team isn't doing that.
Lamenting on ice results after good decisions is pointless.
