With the season all but over despite more than half of it left to play, share your complete TD/offseason plans according to the direction you’d like to see this team take from now on. Mine’s simple; embrace the youth movement like most of the best teams in the league have. Speed and skill, speed and skill, speed and skill. No more emphasis on character, intangibles and veteran leadership.
Some are more than others (Dorion), but everyone in the organization, from the owner to the players, is responsible for this mess. So make everyone accountable for once. It’s been 10 years. First out of the door are Dorion and Boucher as well as all the coaches, assistant coaches and training staff. Hire a competent, experienced, winning GM-coach combo for some stability (Dean Lombardi & Darryl Sutter for example), let them rebuild the front office and from there, trade on.

The Isles take a cheap stab (assets wise) at an aging, but better goaltender than Halak who they certainly aren’t resigning. Sens get out of Anderson’s extension and look to either run with Condon, give a chance to their young guys (Hogberg, Driedger) or find answers outside of the organization (Philipp Grubauer, Aaron Dell, Petr Mrazek, etc.).Smith - Malkin - Kessel
