It boggles me how much people have turned on this guy in such a short time.
He is a great NHL player. Top 50 in the entire league offensively since he entered, 6th among LW's and that is with this anchor of a season included.
Then add in all the intangibles. Dude is upper tier.

Sounds like Gaudreau, a guy you want to run out of town.

When you say "when they were eliminated from playoff contention", that was about a week ago right? The difference between losing all remaining games and winning them being around 3 spots in a gong show draft?

what a great shift. Full credit to Ruzicka and Valimaki for their takeaways at the offensive blue

No way in hell for this draft, at the risk of further instilling a losing culture here.

Pretty sure the losing culture is already instilled without tanking. What else do you call an organization that never wins when it matters most?
Players are going to play hard, regardless of who is in the lineup, you'd think. I'd like to see the org shift to giving the young guys an opportunity and playing them big minutes, vs. starting your star goalie 3 of the last 4 games, giving Gio and Johnny 20+ minutes of ice, their is a difference between outright tanking and giving minutes to what you hope is the future.
And before anybody says we need our core to put up points to increase value, the padded stats these guys have accumulated amount to very little. We aren't the only people who know our cores tendency to disappear in crunch time and the decline in overall production.

They aren't. It's just years/decades of watching the game and forming opinions that may differ from yours. That is encouraged here.
Grow up.

Only if his contract extension isnt done before the draft.

Everyone thinks we're getting him, but why would he want to come to an organization relatively as crappy as the one he's trying to leave?
