To me this entire season is a positive. The team needed to be dragged into a rebuild kicking and screaming, and that's exactly what is happening. I honestly couldn't be more happy than where the team stands right now. As I type this, 31st place, so really the lone negative I see happening is the damn Preds trying to out-tank us. They can #### off, this is our year.
Don't really care about Don Baloney's comments; like it or not a rebuild is happening. It's pretty obvious though, if there was any doubt over the past few decades, that ownership is definitely meddling with hockey decisions. Don coming out at the press conference and saying what he did when the team sat in last place spoke volumes. I don't doubt Conroy wants to see this down the rebuild path, and the challenging part is getting ownership on board fully.
Stay the course. Tank the season. Get a high draft pick and get some star power. I don't care about being called out for cheering for losses. What we've done the past 3 decades simply hasn't work and never will work. If me wanting to do things differently and get some stars mean I cheer for losses, than so be it.
