This TDL is what I am going to base Francis' future on. While I don't quite expect a blowup, if all he does is move Tanev and Gourde (even if he gets moved), then I am done with him.

Would be idiotic if they weren't willing to eat 50% of the cap hit.

Anyways, it's about three more days till TDL.
I'm not expecthing too much given that it's Francis we're talking about and I don't expect much of im.

So hurry up Ronnie...

Francis is leading a weak, veteran heavy team that is going nowhere fast.

If Francis is phlegmatic and passive now, when he has serious opportunities to do something about this mess of a team, then that's damning.

No doubt but I just don't see a blow up. I don't see us trading all of our vets.

Bjorkstrand
McCann
Gourde
Tanev
Oleksiak
Burakovsky
Tolvanen
Schwartz

These are players that can be potentially be traded. But I don't see more than 3 of these guys being traded. Maybe 4 at most. But this is not a blow up.

Yeah not all of them obviously. The point is Francis has a LOT of ammo to work with here.

Yeah. I mean, he should use it. This team has no difference makers. Maybe Wright, in a year or two. Same with Catton in 2-3 years. Same with our pick this season in another 2-4 years. I would not be upset if any of the players in the list above is moved. I root for our team and the team sucks.

What it really comes down to if Francis willing to take some trade risks. Give away a proven NHL players like Bjorkstrand, Mccann, etc. for a potential start in a prospect. I have not seen Francis do that yet and I am not convinced he is the GM who will do so.

Yeah, that's the point here.
