A lot of people completely understand where we are.
Not likely to regress or stay stagnant at this point.
Didn't necessarily maximize our original tank seasons.
Got 1OA spot on but certainly did not end up in a great position year 2 spin it any way you want.
I projected .500 hockey last season but that was with a healthy Dach.
I think we are a bottom of the bubble team this year providing not too many thing go off the rails.
We should be in shed mode because this team can be improved by subtraction in a number of areas.
That was always going to be Hughes' greatest challenge.
Do we have enough assets including Cap to start dumping some of those contracted players for next to nothing and find upgrades I think so.
I think we should try to bolster what we do have as much as possible all the while continuing to evaluate the growth potential of the talent on hand.
That's the concern here. I think there's a genuine possibility we get stuck in no man's land once again after all is said and done with this rebuild.
Rebuilding/tanking is far from being a magic recipe. Just ask the Sabres.
