The key phrase from Bratten's tweet quoting Bruno ... "we're a little bit in dire straits here for our season". The one with the most blame for that situation is Bruno.
"In dire straits"
Continues to double and triple down on the line combinations that got us there

The team needs to find some brothers in arms to rescue it from the members getting money for nothing 5on5.

Send Bruno to the end of Telegraph Road.

Hey, there's a really good reason why Stamkos deserves the 3rd most ES TOI among forwards despite putting up only 2 ES points. And that reason is...uh, go ahead Bruno, you tell him
"He's got the 3rd biggest caphit"

I do wonder that with every passing game, we actually get closer to a top-pick in the draft. So, at what point do we even want Bruno gone? The new guy could just get us on a hot streak and land us that coveted 15th pick again..

It's so bizarre that Trotz has decided to give away young players instead of firing the coach.

Hey! You suck!
Well he was going to waive Tomasino and didn't think he would make it through, and I don't think he would either. However, he is making both roster and cap space so he is either trying to save the owner a few bucks or he has something else coming.
None of that changes the fact that Brunette should be fired.

Well, that's kinda what I mean. I'm not sure what the ultimate plan is (roster spots, potential move, just saving a buck...), but it seems that the coach has had zero accountability.

if after 10am this morning we don’t have a new coach, I don’t know what else to say or think.

Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised but I don't think Bruno is going anywhere this season and I wouldn't even be shocked if we see him back again next year. The comments about moving Tomasino suggest to me that Trotz is perfectly happy with what Brunette is doing. Otherwise, why would you move a player just because the coach isn't playing him.
I'm getting more and more worried that he, given his coaching background, is going to support his coaches to a fault. At this rate, he might get fired too because he refuses to move on from Bruno.

It's gotta be today, right?

If it was a rando GM, maybe. But Trotz is a Nashville icon. No way he gets canned.
Firing the coach would mean Trotz having to admit he was wrong. Trading away younger players is just cleaning the roster of players that he feels can be replaced easily.

Hey! You suck!
I got a feeling we are going to be watching this shit show for another couple of years. Only way anything changes is if they stop selling tickets.
Well buckle up because Trotz' stated logic for trading Tomasino makes it sound like this is but the start or tripling down on Brunette

Well, he is right about that. Tomasino was around a 40p pace for his career (a little less, but whatever). And Trotz basically already replicated that production by signing Stamkos, who's on pace for about 40 points. And it only cost $8M a year. Easy!
