Other teams have turned it around. You need to bring in strong young players like Toews, kopitar, Crosby, MacKinnon those type of leaders even Hedman in Tampa. Guys that can take over the team from the older guys leaving.
We are doing that to an extent, but you have to commit to moving those guys out when it’s time not sign them.

I can’t stomach the thought of “tanking” in hopes of winning a lottery.
Building sensibility/honesty, reward effort, let the lotteries fall as they may and deal with problems as they arise
