Some of the worst things that can really happen to end this year would be Zacha scoring a bunch of points and giving him multiple years because of it. It'll be Zacha's new last third or maybe Zacha's last fifth or whatever it is?
Going on a power play bender and retaining Recchi.
I do still believe that Ruff's fate (and Recchi's) has already been decided, no matter what that fate may be. If he does end up coming back, I don't think there's much we could do from here on out that would cause that to change.
And if doesn't come back, I don't think there's much we could do to prevent him from being fired at this point. I don't think losing out is gonna cost him and I don't think winning out is gonna save him.
