It is hysterical people are falling for the “rebuild.” Dubas made so many mistakes that it was no longer even possible to reach the playoffs. Instead of him getting fired, he labeled his negligence as a rebuild, but it was never his intention.

If it wasn't he wouldn't have traded Guentzel. He gave this team every chance, THEY FAILED him! So, after giving them the benefit of the doubt he realized they just wanna play with their cronies. No one in their right mind could believe a 37 and 38 yr old as their best players could compete, that's just silly. This team was done, that's not on Kyle. That's not to say he didn't make mistakes, but what GM doesn't make mistakes?

He’s made a ton of mistakes in a relatively short period.

So the team was underperforming so he donated Jake to Carolina in retaliation?

Shrewd

None of that would change the trajectory of this team, that's the important thing. Again, the nucleus is old and Stale. Letang and Geno were signed before Dubas arrived. Since he realized they weren't contenders he's accrued picks and prospects. And is not offering the team any other recourse but to plummet as we won't be buying (only selling). That's precisely what they should be doing. Hopefully that forces a Crosby trade to Colorado for a good return. Win for Sid, Win for us!

We got a few good pieces though, YOU'RE conveniently forgetting that . Brunicke looks promising. And Bunting is a serviceable mid 6 forward. You know what the Canes got? NOTHING!

It's like getting a free ice cream at work, but it's vanilla lol

But hey, it's something
Also, instead of signing Jake, which in theory would have elevated us in the standings at least a bit. It'll help us get a better draft pick as we fall further down the standings. But Brunicke looks promising.

They got rid of a guy that didnt fit in. Bunting was a cap dump, bro.

Let’s be serious, they will eff up Brunicke.

I shouldnt be surprised you like Dubas - you defended Hextall until the very end.

I never defended Hextall, I just wasn't losing sleep over him or got hysterical like you did! You're confused. And if you're so down on the team don't follow them!

Im not abandoning the team, but I am incredibly sick of Sullivan and our front office.

I was right about Hextall, btw. 😄
I was right about the fact that we would suck this season and will be making about 8 grand as a result when our point total is under 90.5. Tell me how much money have you made with your opinions?

Bunting sucks. With his play this season, if his name was Mikael Buntinen he would not have gotten back in the lineup after his healthy scratch. Much less if he was <24 yo and prospect status.

He's been tried in the same spots, Sullivan won't try him with Sid for some reason.

I was assured he was the key ask in the Jake trade, which marked the beginning of the rebuild and was as such a genius move.
