How does it apply here? It has nothing to do with the current rebuild.Sorry, it applies here and out of town.

It’ll feel better to accept today we didn’t get the budding star. If things turn around for Reinbacher and the Habs, it’ll feel even better then. So be it. It’s honestly fine.We don't even know they were wrong and probably won't know for another 5+ years and that's if we would ever know, ie it's still debateable if taking Price or Kopitar would have been the better choice in 05.
The lenght of the rebuild will be dependant on the strenght of management's choices. That pick is one of several key choices they made. We have a right to question those choices as they have everything to do with the rebuild.How does it apply here? It has nothing to do with the current rebuild.
It looks like they were right about Demidov so whoever evaluated the players (Bobrov Sr) got that one. There is no reason to believe that they got Michkov wrong. He is likely a selfish player. And as i have said before anyone who WANTS to play for Philly is an idiotWe don't even know they were wrong and probably won't know for another 5+ years and that's if we would ever know, ie it's still debateable if taking Price or Kopitar would have been the better choice in 05.

The cope (“he never wanted to come here//he illegally manoeuvred to Philadelphia”) and the barely contained rage (“the wrist slitting collective”) are 100% unnecessary.
Not every one of our tank picks was gonna be the right one. It never is and never will be. If Reinbacher ends up being the RD we need that’s totally good and acceptable… I think we can think that and still pine for Michkov the budding superstar and also use it as a data point against blindly supporting the brain trust. All fine, imo. Never too high, never too low.
You don't get to chose what this thread should be about. The title says it. State of the rebuild. The state of the rebuild is dependant on the choices management has made and will make. If you don't like the comments about Michkov, just simply ignore them. As an adult, you should have that capacity. To simply disregard comments if you know it triggers you. Take some responsibility for yourself instead of trying to impose your framework for discussion.It looks like they were right about Demidov so whoever evaluated the players (Bobrov Sr) got that one.

I wanted us to draft Michkov, but you know what, a few days after the draft I stopped caring about Michkov and what he will do and I can tell you it feels way better then "accepting a loss" ever would.It’ll feel better to accept today we didn’t get the budding star.

But we aren't. There are just a lot of posters whining about Michkov here.As if both can't be or shouldn't be talked about at the same time

I did the exact same thing (and my post history would support this!!).I wanted us to draft Michkov, but you know what, a few days after the draft I stopped caring about Michkov and what he will do and I can tell you it feels way better then "accepting a loss" ever would.
It’s not the same as pining after an ex. Until Demidov or Reinbacher or even Caufield/Slafkvosky makes us forget about missing out on a star forward we will always feel the lack of a star forward.Like seriously how can think "still pine for Michkov" is in any way better than just moving on? Do you think pining for an ex a year after the breakup is healthy or feels better then moving on from what could've been and focusing on the future with the new significant other who is frankly probably even better (Demidov)?
We haven't missed out on a star forward we passed on a potential star forward. It takes more then 8 games to go from being a potential star to an actual star.I did the exact same thing (and my post history would support this!!).
I accepted that if Michkov burst out, it wouldn’t ruin my mood. I still root for Michkov’s success and that’s perfectly fine with me.

You had people here cope and mope about how it’s totally fine Slafkovsky had a 10pt rookie season. Michkov is on 9pts in 8gp. Applying the same standards would reveal that we did, indeed, miss out and it did affect our rebuild. Until it doesn’t, it’s perfectly fine to think we f***ed up in this case.
