Good drafting and signing Chara had a little more to do with that, but Thornton was seen as a floater in Beantown, and that is one thing they do not tolerate well.

Like I've said from day one, change the culture or give up hope.

Decided I wasn't going to let the little dictators have their satisfaction. We need to build a team of players who play every night not a bunch of guys who only play when they feel like it or when they want a contract. I am at a loss to explain how so many of you are so easily fooled by Kane playing well this year. HE IS PLAYING FOR A CONTRACT. Minute you sign him long term to big money he'll be back to the old Kane guaranteed. IF he does consider signing here it'd be only for the money, more likely he has zero desire to sign here and will sign where he wants to be - Vancouver. Trade him while he is at top value, it's the only decision possible for future success.

We should just call up that guy who jumped in to avenge the Nylander hit and tell him to punch Eichel in practice until the brat learns to give effort on EVERY play, not just when he wants to.

If you hadn't signed him to the big extension you could trade him easily. There would be a plethora of teams thinking Seguin/Boston. With the contract, MAYBE someone would think that, but I doubt it. Would seem like a huge gamble from their perspective. Better plan would be to surround him with guys who work hard and don't take crap from kids. Teach him by example.

It's more realistically like JBot rolled the dice on a half dozen guys hoping one or two of them would stick. So far the results are not good. Only Pouliot seems to have been a good signing.

Pouliot is playing for a contract. We should be able to move him for a good pick or prospect at the deadline. So that was a smart signing.

Max value right now, this team as is isn't going anywhere, use him as step one in the total new rebuild.

This team couldn't put a horse in the barn even if the door was wide open.

That's all I meant too. Not going to watch all the games. Not going to say as much. Just talk about any actual changes they make, any REAL progress. It's too depressing to pay any real attention to right now.

The f-u was directed at the small elite squad who think their opinions matter more than others. The ones who threaten that they will ignore you with the delusion that that would actually matter to anyone, like oh no if he ignores me I will be so gutted...............NOT the entire board who are mostly normal disgruntled fans. I didn't think that would need explanation. It was just for the judges and the critics.
