Nicomo Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 5 minutes ago, SterioDesign said: if you go through every seasons and all the moves that were made. Keeping in mind what he had to start with. It was going to take more than 4-5 years to rebuild a strong team. It was simply impossible to do it faster. Unless you have some sort of time machine and draft guys with hindsight. Almost all his trades were "deals" too that had potential. We couldnt do more cause we had no fvcking assets to do anything Rebuilding a strong team is one thing, but I don’t really blame the owners for being frustrated with seeing literally no strides forward. In fact we’re getting worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not his fault prospects take time to develop and you were expecting a deep playoff run. I’m also not going to fire him for Grabner and Mojo because that would be ridiculous. He has had five years. This didn't start this past offseason. Five years in and we are in the same exact spot. If you want to keep spinning those tires be my guest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember our top prospect was Reid Boucher for the longest time. Maybe they wanted more than just a little better after 5 years. Not a shot at you, just wondering if that's ownership's thought process right now. I still think it's coach related. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol this is what I thought. From what he is saying it sounds less mutual. It sounds more like Ray was fired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because 19 year old defensemen with no pro experience don’t usually make NHL clubs. I think people’s expectations are out of whack here.

It may not show "result wise" at the moment but anyone looking at this roster and prospect pool and saying it's not better than when Shero took over doesn't know anything about hockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that literally no strides forward? 2 scrubs that will probably never amount to anything and a halfway decent prospect in Bahl. Sorry if I’m not jumping up and down. As far as playing a little better recently we haven’t won more than 3 games in a row all season. Let’s not get carried away. It’s mostly been Nico anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read up on our prospect pool, there’s more than 2 future NHL players, who for some reason you’ve decided are scrubs. Expectations and emotions really cloud reality.
