Yeah Sullivan Sucks, but Dubas needs to be talked about too...

They literally started this. Do you think rebuilds are done in a few weeks. Sounds like you’ve never been through one.

That is not my argument either. Try re-reading my previous posts slowly, feel free to ask an adult for help!

You asked for examples how this rebuild was going & cited 2027. Never mind the fact they just engaged in rebuilding in a serious way.

Here’s the best example. Dubas has secured 29 picks over the next three seasons. That’s essentially 4 draft years in 3 (draft is 7 rounds long). That’s excellent work.

Another example is the pending fire sale over the next few months. No more nonsense about competing with this core. It’s game on. The logo finally came first over the name on the back.

These things take years, not months.

Next steps. Continue to clear out big contracts. Rakell could be moved at the deadline. Pettersson as well. Jarry is either traded or bought out after this season, though there is a scenario whereby he comes back next year as Blomqvist’s backup.

The fact that we have an extra 2nd round pick in 2026 and 2027 is completely obscured by the fact that Dubas blew 100million on albatross contracts like Karlsson, Jarry, and Graves.

Actually we're still playing catchup to the assets he lost on the Karlsson trade.

Yeah. This is the funniest part of the "he's doing the rebuild the right way".

He literally gave away what is looking like a franchise defenseman in Dickinson.

Hm, actually seeing media chatter about Sully potentially being on the chopping block. One can hope.

Dickinson had 6 points yesterday. 38 pts in 20 GP this season. But we have a surplus of 3rd and 5th round picks in 2026 and 2027 so it's okay!

Didn't Sabres have the rights to select Dickinson? Then Sharks did, after they added a pick in trade with Sabres? Who knows who Dubas would have got in that draft if Pens hadn't made the trade with the Sharks?
