You're acting like this is EA NHL which explains why you had no idea who Jacob Perreault was.
Lol, c'mon man
Nobody but the extremely knowledgeable hockey fan knows who the f*** is Jacob "I will play in Europe really soon" Perreault is
As for the rest of your post, I don't know man. It might suck for the players in the first year, but if I'm the GM, I'm trying to build a winner, and currently there's absolutly no winner here
Statu Quo clearly won't work, as we are down the barrel anyway.
The main problem is competition in the Atlantic: We can't currently compete against the top teams, and we have to wait for them to get weaker, and us to get stronger. We ain't going to make the playoffs this year (Duh!) and I don't see it for next year too.
So we might as well suck ass as much as possible, get good assets, and go back to war
