You can't build depth in a year or 2 when you start with no depth and half the NHL team is garbage (and capped out). 2 years from now there will be depth.
I know, but the management are the ones that spewed out the nonsense how we will be 'competing for a playoff spot' or 'in the mix' when the fans knew this was total bullshit. We all know we would be injury ravaged, as usual, and why would we have faith in a coaching crew with hardly any experience still? No moves behind the bench to help MSL? Nothing?
I loved the Laine deal, I would do that every day of the week, but the rest was treating the fans like morons. So long term, we have Demidov and still a team of smurfs and a core that can't handle the physical play of the NHL. Looking down the pipeline, there isn't a lot there just some size on the 'cusp' who may or may not be NHL players.
The team looks just as lost as the day MSL got here, and just as injury prone..
I can handle the rebuild, but doing it with these soft little perimeter players.. yikes it isn't going to end well at all.
