Hopefully a decent playoff run could chip away at some of the costs debt. I wonder how much missing last year costed JVB.

Devils will have to fight to even make the playoffs, and even then it will be a one and done.  This team doesn't have the goaltending situation or the puck movement up the ice to contend.

This post surprises me. I figured you would be harder on someone who is not looking at things realistically.

Agreed.  How has Lou and Lemaire "breached" the trust?  By giving out ridiculously long contracts with excessive trade/movement clauses?  Lou and ownership sold to the hilt this season with Kovy and the Cap and it's had some ramifications I'll admit.  But for Rolston to use the whole cap thing as an excuse is such a sissy cop-out for his ridiculously insulting level of play.  Play good hockey and it's a moot point.  You win, and there's no need for people to look behind their shoulders.

I for one have to say, I hope whoever the new GM is, clears the roster of every single veteran.  They all seem to live in this la-la land that they are still in their mid-20s and that they are on retirement contracts which prohibit them from accepting any responsibility or accountability.

Even Elias and White both of whom I love dearly has sometimes had some quotes where you scratch your head.

I want a young, speedy, and skilled and dynamic hockey team going forward.  Enough with the so-called veterans.  Too much money for too little production and effort but a lot of drama served on the side.

The only thing Lou is responsible for is for believing in this group of players.  The breach of trust screwed Lou, not Rolston.  I feel bad for Lou.  The veterans burned him.
