Like I said in the other thread, I have no clue why Penguins fans want to expedite the process to become bad.
Go ask the Sabres or Wings how the last 5 or so years have been while being bad. You're very likely not getting another Crosby, Malkin and Letang anytime soon, if ever again.

HF users play a lot of EA NHL franchise mode where they can blow up their team for draft picks and simulate and be stacked in 6 years. What they don’t consider in real life is that 6 years is a long f***ing time for fans to watch AHL caliber teams getting slammed every night and that the players are actual humans with actual emotions, and losing affects those emotions negatively I.e. breeds a losing culture

Yes I do. So I'm fully aware that a team playing a little bit subpar leads to some of those fans yelling to blow it upYour from Boston, surely you know what spoiled fans are

Wings fans were pretty accepting of the fact a rebuild was needed and some rough years were ahead. Hell most were begging for it. I dunno that the Pens need to go that route yet but it'll surely be necessary in the not too distant future. Sad reality of professional sports

Even as a Rags fan I don't think the pens need a rebuild. More so just surround Malkin, Crosby, and letang with guys and ride it out they will carry you so just find odds and end to plug. Once your Sids, and malkins go and retire then I would rebuild but as long as they are playing the pens have a great coach and chance of winning

Oh yeah it will definitely be necessary, but I think there's a difference between letting it happen naturally and artificially speeding it up.

Moving Doumlin whose lost a step isn’t a rebuild. Moving rust who wants more than you want to sign him isn’t a rebuild. Letang controls if he is here or gone by his contract demands. We can do a soft retool. Malkin could be flipped and re signed
Oh you will. It's like there's some kind of blessing from the Hockey Gods on the Pens, always giving them generational players. Lemieux and Jagr, then Crosby and Malkin. Same with the Oilers.

Can someone explain to me why some Pens fans still believe Riikola has any value? He’s cleared waivers twice in the past few months.

I, for one, would love to see what Malkin could do with another team.
But more than that, I just really appreciate that the Penguins organization has constantly pushed to be a winner. I love that they've gone for it so many times over the years. I hope they keep it up, and manage to add at the deadline this year. Rebuilds suck. Go for a championship while the window's still open a crack.
As long as Crosby and Malkin are on the team, they've got a shot.

Gotta go all scorched earth before the sale is final.
Screw the playoff streak, which is currently the longest active in North America.

To be fair it's been 10 years of misery for Sabres fans, but they were still middle of the league in attendance until this season which says a lot for the resilience of the base. Despite that it's difficult to stomach year after year especially when the product on the ice offers little hope of improvement. At this point I think a lot of Sabres fans myself included would have preferred mediocrity and retooling with the hopes of making the playoffs a couple of times during that span vs the complete teardowns.
