I do think we are very nice as an organization, but it does not necessarily lead to winning. I sometimes wish we were a little more ruthless like Vegas or Florida who are more about making the right moves for the team.
Like when Florida traded Huberdeau without talking to him, because they knew it would help them long term. Yes, it soured their relationship with Huberdeau and he was vocal about how he was not happy with the situation, but no one cares about that now that they are winning.
Players are still wanting to go there. Players want to play for a winner.
That said, you can't trade Backlund after he just signed an extension and is your captain.
