This was already well known and they have plans for a massive renovation ($500m+) that will fix this. It starts this coming offseason, then will continue in the 2026 and 2027 offseasons

Seattle would have had the same problems initially if they didn't have time to renovate before getting their expansion team
 

My other team really seem to be making a mess of things with Swayman.
I happen to think their long run of great goalies has more to do with their goalie coach Bob Essensa but would still feel better if they get it resolved. 8x8 seems more than fair with Swayman's resume.
I don't know who to believe, a lying exec, or lying agent
 
People always bring up the Sharks or the Wings as teams that missed out on cups post-2000. But the Bruins have consistently gotten in their own way for decades now. Really horrible front office, no matter who seems to be there.

If not for an act of God (or whatever you wanna call Tim Thomas), they would still be searching for their first cup since 1972. It’s a miracle they’ve been a dominant regular season team for so long

:laugh:

They've made the SCF twice since then and set the regular season all time point record, which is a whole lot more than most teams including the Flames can claim. Not a miracle at all. It's strong leadership and a great team culture. You demand high standards and you tend to achieve high standards.

It is Lewis Gross, and he does live for the drama.

I’m sure they might have won even more if they didn’t trade Seguin for pennies on the dollar and bungle three straight picks in the best draft since 2003. They have a track record for succeeding in spite of their clownshow management

That's still one of the weirdest things I've ever seen at a draft. Trying to be too clever and ended up looking like dumbasses
 

Yeah, that sucks. I was rooting for Laine. I'm still on board with considering bringing in someone like Laine to our org if the acquisition cost was low.

I'd look at it as trying to get someone to mirror what Sharangovich is doing for us right now (sniper who occasionally sits in for certain C responsibilities).
