The ROI for Dougie Weight hockey is two first round picks: one, that keeps getting chance after chance and sucks, the other, all offense, scaried cat defensively and soon to get paid $9M. Yikes!
But the rebuild will only bring better returns. Guaranteed.
Yeah - And who was the GM that made those 2 picks you seem to be a big fan of?
And this head in the sand attitude of, "
a rebuild doesn't guarantee anything," is just weak, narrow-minded thinking. It's impossible to argue with the "
I want life to guarantee me something or I won't take any new action" crowd. There's no
guarantee you won't die in a car accident this week - So let's not drive anywhere! Can't say you'll get much done, but at least you won't possibly die. Congrats on being uber-safe.
Even worse when someone who wants a continuously failing way to approach something to continue in perpetuity, and yet will make fun of a possible new/successful way that of course will have risk.
You want a guarantee...? I've got one for you- The longer Lou stays on board as GM, the slowly worse this team will get until all of sudden they are a lottery team every year. If Lou stays on as GM another 3-5 years I'd bet you're going to watch the Islanders have to go through a "forced rebuild" - Regardless of how good you want the Isles to be or how you would build the team.
