Between the mediocre prospect pool, I think Eiserman becomes another Oliver Wahlstrom to the extremely mid NHL roster I think now's the time to blow it up.
Knowing Lou, he's too old to rebuild, I think the move is to move on and get a GM and commit to a rebuild.
This year's draft is average at best and the quality sees a dip at 10 but the next two drafts have two of the best prospects in recent times (McKenna and Dupont)
Now's the time to commit and rebuild but in order to do so, 4 guys have go to go and these are Sorokin, Barzal, Horvat and Dobson
I Don't get why owners allow their organizations to stand in such a situation, where you're either struggling to make the playoffs or miss and then draft late in the lottery. That's the recipe for being stuck in a mediocrity loop
You either win or commit to lose and now's the time
I'd post the same thing in the Red Wings, Penguins and Bruins forums if I wasn't bored
