I'm not gonna abandon the team, but man it's gonna be pretty shitty being a fan for a while the way things are going.I might even be down to "The Last Straw"? Go ahead and get rid of Parssinen or Evangelista... I might not even stick around? I'm not a Day One fan like many on here. If management is THAT bad, I CAN bail. I didn't sell my soul. I can spend my entertainment $$$ with less frustration. If that's the way things are really going to go.

Yeah, I admire the dedication if anybody can do that. It probably all connects back to what's going on in your life anyway. But I can definitely drop the Preds if it gets too bad. That's me, it's not many others here. So kudos to those of you who will ride it out regardless.
I don't even think things looked this bleak during the '07 firesale.

Hey! You suck!
We didn't like it but we understood Poile had no choice. This is all just bad decisions.
If young players keep getting traded and waived to send a message to the rest, there won't be any left to send a message to.

He is and I also find it not shocking.

Honestly, if I'm a young player/his agent right now in the Preds ORG, I'm going to be as proactive as possible. Not wait until my player gets dragged through the mud. Ask out ASAP.
I have expressed some anger at Askarov's approach around here. It's a little different since he's a goalie? But maybe not? Maybe he was really smart after all. Get out if you can. Kudos to anybody who can read the tea leaves a little more pragmatically than those of us wearing the rose-tinted glasses.

I did ask what Tomasino was doing when he was going all out and hustling during his shifts.
Not surprised we traded him immediately after that. We're idiots.

Trade and waive the guys that are not the problem and who the coach won't put on the ice.
Insanity.
I'm giving him until next season, he's a newer gm, as long as he doesn't do anything stupider. I can MAYBE see the reasoning for getting rid of Poile's draft picks, even though it's inexcusable to throw them away for nothing. If this is his version of tanking so be it. But we can not eff up this deadline and draft.

it's so frivolous and demonstrative of organizational dysfunctional and incompetence.
What a mess.

Hey! You suck!
All we can hope for right now is Haslam sees enough coming into this summer that he just walks in and cleans house. If not this could be one long decade.
This team is only as good as it is because of Saros. If he was as bad as the rest of the team around him, we may not have any wins.

This board certainly seems to put in a lot more thought and analysis than the professionals appear to.
Maybe if we all got paid we wouldn't care as much?
I wish I could suck this bad at my job and not have to worry about it……
