Why NHL teams should reconsider teardown rebuilds and prioritize winning

The full tear-it-all-down rebuilds seem to be getting harder to pull out of, and it sure seems like there are better ways to turn things around. Justin Bourne provides examples of teams that have taken a different approach and seeing positive results.

Interesting article. Some valid points.

People's opinions on stauber? Any longtime future in the nhl or just a fill in?

to help out the 3rd line I think it's about time they re-called Doan and inserted him into Crouse's spot and move Crouse down to 4th line and just tell him to hit everything and go to the net

Keller/Hayton/Schmaltz (can't wait to replace Hayton here)
McBain/Cooley/Guenther
Maccelli/Bjugstad/Doan
Crouse/Stenlund/Kerfoot

I dunno. The 4th line is really vibrating right now.
I think any changes with the 3rd line should be offset in the press box.

Carcone deserves roster spot

 

[Mangosteen]

Crouse should be press box or traded. Just not having him in the line up will help.

 

[Arizonatah Coyetis]

CGY has played 2 more games than UHC and COL has played 3 more so they both have more points. But based on P% UHC would be in the 2nd Wild Card spot right now.

 

[Arizonatah Coyetis]

Crouse and Maccelli are both veterans with no excuses. I'd have no problem benching them and giving Doan and/or someone else a few NHL minutes.

So disappointed in Ingram.
Only a few teams are willing to dump decent players for picks/prospect ATM. Still expecting a trade, but it may not happen until after the start of the new year.
Crouse's play makes me wonder if he requested a trade, but GMBA is waiting for the "right trade" to emerge?

Expecting a better 2nd half of the season than what we experienced in this 1st half.

GMBA's top priority isn't making the playoffs this season but the long term goal of building a contender, so patience is needed to bring in the right players. Stop gaps aren't the solution, but maybe a rental or 2 if they're willing to re-sign. I'm not sure about reclamation projects!

the KHL finals was over by Feb 26th last season...what are the chances we could get some late Russian infusion into the lineup with But & Simashev?

BA better start to mention the word PLAYOFFS in his vocabulary next year, and every player better know that playoffs are expected.

Well it's your god given right to be wrong

I agree with you about Crouse it's Chyc all over again.

I don't understand your 1st statement? Wrong about it being GMBA's top priority? It's obvious, I'm just trying to put it into perspective. It's about waiting for the right trade.
