Where did Yzerman go wrong with the rebuild?

not necessarily. Without larkin we could’ve been in a position instead of 6-9 to get 1-4

maybe celebrini Carlson Smith Bedard Fantilli instead of kasper and danielson

I have zero faith any changes would have resulted in lottery help. This team sucked, its hard to suck the most in a 32 team league over 82 games.

Would have had to keep Mo and Ray out of the lineup too...

Last season I agree. The bad teams went all out suck. Mo and Ray were good enough that we would still have finished 6th at worst. That said, this team is really bad when Larkin doesn't play.

when schaefer and mckenna are in the lineup full time along with cossa, asp, danielson, buchelnikov, mbn and lombardi, this board will know peace and unity

That is kind of where I am at, I appreciate the complaints because they have great emotional energy coming from a place of wanting the team to succeed, which is what we all want. It's just not based in reality because there wasn't an alternative pathway that would have fixed the issues. It would have much more likely made the issues worse. I am grateful we have a GM that committed to the slow roll. Cheap short term plugs and draft the core. That was the only probable option for success and despite the complaints, its working.
