I agree.Dude.. make more paragraphs.. I don't want to read that, and I love you to death.
I'm a bit depressed though.
CDH and Kylington were both somewhat promising earlier in their careers.
Even Brannstrom had some pedigree coming in.
Hell, even I get why we have to take a chance on these types though.... nobody better is willing to take league minimum. But what I'm getting tired of is seeing CMac spending assets every year patching the same holes.
His inability to build a bottom six that Bednar can use is a major issue. I'm not sure if this is on CMac or Bednar because I don't know what kind of communication they have, but it appears there is a very big difference in how they believe a bottom six is supposed to play.
CMac keeps bringing in crashers, bangers and guys that should be good defensively. Bednar keeps trying to use them like his first f***ing line and when they don't succeed he just shortens the bench even further, rather than working and holding practices trying to get his guys playing better.
If I really wanted to yank some chains, I'd float the idea that Bednar has given up as much on the team as Mikko did. It's not that he can't be better... it's just that it would be too much of an effort to do so. Seriously... who wants to work with a bunch of mucker and grinders.
Oh, yeah... besides every team that has actually won a Stanley Cup I mean. Why doesn't Bednar remember this? Why so little empahsis on getting the bottom of the lineup playing right?
