So you guys didn't realize that rebuilding through the draft would be painful?
You think the Blackhawks were fun to watch just before they assmebled their current core by drafting? How about the Pens?
It hasn't even as bad for us as most teams when they rebuild. We've made the playoffs every other year and at the very least we're seeing the rewards of the drafting. This year was miserable but it could be way worse and at the very least they're moving in the right direction. The flaws the team has right now are covered in the prospect pool, so at least there's a reason for real optimism.
Does Hakstol suck? Yeah, every coach does. They all do the same stupid **** that earns hate from the fanbase. Pens just won the cup last year and they ***** about their coach constantly with complaints that sound exactly like the ones in here. When the team is improved in the next few years, not even his stupidity will be able to mess it up. They'll either be successful or not, but that depends on the players and how good they become. Team win in spite of coaching, not because of it.
I agree with your post, but using the blackhawks as an example wasn't a great choice. They were horrific for yeaers because their owner was one of the worst in all of pro sports. When he died they finally started pulling themselves out of a mess.
