It seems perverse that even though we received almost no value for the players traded today, the team may have a brighter future because they may be more likely to finish with the worst record in the NHL. This really needs to be more than a race for last place, particularly since there is no guarantee that the team will finish last even with the trades made today. We still need to get as much value as possible for our players, and today was not a good day. This team was really bad and now it is worse. How long before there is any real hope for improvement? It is not as if the Amerks are a powerhouse or filled with strong talent. Does not seem like next year will be much better than this year, and a playing for the playoffs may be years away.
