Someone return Maloney to his retirement home / the cretaceous period.

Has the aura of a reanimated corpse, and what's worse, no honest awareness of the team's current predicament nor track record over the last 20 years.

They don't have a Gaudreau or Tkachuk to make them a playoff contender. Like, hello. They literally do not have the horses (not literal horses) to be what management hopes they can be.

They're playing hard most nights too. It's not an effort issue, it's a talent issue.

You need your next Gaudreau/Tkachuk to begin to even make strides in that direction in a way that can be sustained. How do you do that? Let them be bad. It's the shortest path to it.

You've already been a non-playoff team for 3 years. It's not something to try to prevent-it's already happened.

Time to come to grips with the reality of the current situation.
