Maybe if the players would shoot up high, maybe a high corner, they might score. I see a lot of shots low or right on the crest so far.

Pick a corner?  At the point, I'd settle for a Pysyk Butt Goal!

The only hope is to draft our way out of this. I have absolutely no hope to be competitive for another couple of years ....if we draft right.  Preferably hit top 3 the next few years.  

Well if it's another couple of years it would be on JB if he was still around.

We tried that for the past decade and the draft has been largely a bust for them.

We can't afford to subject Dahlin to a "few years" of losing.

His development needs to be at the forefront of everything we do.

Honestly what else can we do?  There is about 1.5 lines worth of quality NHL players.  We are not going to trade our way out of this. Plus we are stuck with albatross contracts.  There is nowhere else to go but draft and develop.  This team is 2-3 years before we can think playoffs IF we draft well for a couple of years.

If that's true, and I don't disagree, the Pegula's will have owned the team for 10 years without making the playoffs.  Half the teams make it each year.  Hard to believe.

It is not that bleak. PH is a buzz kill of a coach.  Need a coach who has a vision and purpose;  To get these guys to play as one.
