[Rumour] LeBrun: As of right now, sounds like Andersson only wants to sign extension with VGK

It really, really felt like it was going to happen at the draft.

Ownership remains terrified that there will be far fewer in attendance to sell pocket dogs too.Young Guns era scarred them.

How many years can you try to lose though, from a management perspective. This will be the 3rd year that the team has more or less gone scorched earth.

I'm not under the impression that they've gone scorch earth at all and I don't think they're necessarily trying to lose. Conroy tried to make moves, but most of them didn't pan out.

They made the Frost + Farabee acquisition.

They tried to re-sign Vladar but he wanted more opportunity.
Allegedly they were close on a deal to send Rasmus out and bring Hague back but that fell through because Hague didn't want to come.
They went deep in trade talks for K'Ander Miller but the Canes had a big offer.
They made a seriously competitive offer to Lindgren but he went somewhere else.


Takes multiple parties to tango.

This team has been very competitive in 2/3 of those years. They could use a couple year to scrape bottom.
