The only thing that needs imminent change is the ownership group.
So we went from Petey-Bo-Miller to Petey-Kampf-Raty down the middle while defence only improved on paper.
They botched some key decisions: 1) trading Bo, yes we got Hronek but trading Miller would have net us a 1st rounder needed to get Hronek anyways. 2) letting Lindholm and Zadorov walk. MPetey may be a better defensive defenceman but Zadorov brings physicality and more offence as we saw in the playoffs. If they didn't botch Bo vs Miller decision in the first place, we wouldn't have needed to re-sign Lindholm. But with Miller aging, they should have planned in advance for the likely chance that Miller is traded or worse off, declines and needs to shift to wing. If we kept Lindholm, our center depth now is Petey-Lindholm-Raty, where Lindholm and Raty are righties with excellent faceoff abilities. Lindholm was a Selke finalist, a perfect player to compliment Petey now. Letting one walk was understandable given the cap situations, but letting both walk was a failure. 3) Finally, the cap management. I think OEL buyout was stupid at the time and I still feel that way about it. OEL didn't gel with Tocchet but that should not have ben the reason to buy him out. The coach that refuses to work with a player should not have been hired in the first place and where is Tocc now? OEL is overpaid but still serviceable. I honestly don't see much loss in paying OEL @7mil vs MPetey @5.5.
All in all, we had multiple paths to build a team around Hughes and Petey but JR and PA failed miserably at their jobs. I think one could argue that they are worse than Benning because Benning started with nothing while JR-PA started with so many pieces to work with.
How does an organization that literally practices in a clanky university rink across town, players changing on old wooden benches designed for children, sound serious when it comes to the massive investment in a wholesale restart of all levels of the franchise?
They need to move Hughes. He's clearly done. As bad as that is, and you will not replace him, you have no choice. Think Matty Tkathuk.
It’s about time
Yes the whole franchise needs a full reset
Just burn it all down and start over.
Their drafting has been good. Trades not so much.
I still can’t believe you gave us silovs
