He said exactly what conroy has been saying and it has nothing to do with ignoring the plan… it’s about getting that young centre to “rebuild” with. That will require assets, because oddly enough, any young centre worth trading for has value.
Just because you don’t like how “the plan” is going, doesn’t mean it’s not the plan.
I’ve said before I’d have preferred a tear it down rebuild and a shot at a top three pick, but with the team doing what it’s doing, and having a goalie perform as well as Wolf, you can’t completely blow it up unless you trade the goalie… and if you do that, you’re… Buffalo. But at least you’re following “the plan.”
