I would trade anybody on this team not named Dahlin. Make this trade happen please and bring some excitement back to the city.

I think there are zero expectations by fans to make the playoffs, but I do think there are expectations on certain players that will never be fulfilled.

The biggest paper tigers of all time. I will genuinely feel bad for these players when they are getting booed off the ice after 10 games and chasing 8th from the pit. It's really not their fault that they are paid like they are elite players, when in reality, they just got paid too early and fans expectations are totally unrealistic.

Everyone I know is already there, it's too late.

This team made me tired of hockey. My passion, which was equivalent to the Bills, has all but disappeared. That never happened, not even one year during the Bills 17 year drought. There is something very rotten about this team from top to bottom and I don't think it ever gets fixed. I didn't lose the passion because the team has been bad, I lost it because from the GM down to the players, they are about as unlikeable as a team can get. They lack talent, heart, and the in-game experience is practically unwatchable.

If this guy does not show he has an ounce of piss and vinegar in him this year, he is dead to me.

I would possibly be in and then you’ll see that I am the furthest thing from depressing that you can imagine. Just don’t pick a game vs any of the top 28 teams…..

The reason for no hope on my end is that I don't trust the owner or the GM to make the right decisions. Along the way, over the last decade, this organization has an absolute stink surrounding it. Until that changes, I will continue to remain mostly hopeless. Will I watch the first month of the season? Absolutely! Will I watch more than 1 minute a game if they are 8 points out of 8th in early December? Absolutely not.

There is patience and then there is the total failure of an organization. I don't blame the players, they were put in a terrible position from day 1. I will not reward an incompetent organization by continuing to burn money. They took that from me for decades until last year. They need to earn my fandom/$$ back...and I hope they do.

Wait until the remaining core is all but gone by July 2026. It's arguable that the most important year this franchise has seen is upon us. If they miss the playoffs again, the last of the exodus will take place. Any returns from the tank years will have vanished and it will all be for nothing.

My response to that is that i refuse to believe this team will ever get any better. Hope is non-existent and I don't trust management to find any solutions.

I'm just gonna throw this out there for my preview to my post next year at this team. How will this bar be lowered next year? Dahlin and Tuch will be gone but we will have the best bottom 6 in the entire NHL.

I think the real issue is that I can't believe it gets worse every year. I mean, how can it possibly get any lower next year is my thought. And yet, here we are, lowest of the low.

There is no room for positivity around here 🤣...

Dormant is the perfect word.
