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. This isn't the NFL. NHL teams are lucky when their 1st rounders hit, much less their 2nd and 3rd rounders. You can plan your rebuild based upon projecting the growth of undeveloped 17 and 18 year olds. Nailing the 1st round picks and trading assets for more developed players is the way most teams build. Peca, Hasek, LaFontaine, Drury, Briere, Dumont were all acquired by trade. Skinner was a good move. O'Reilly and Kane were good moves. Botterill is not going to draft himself out of this mess. How long does he have left if the team continues to play this way? One year? Rochester currently has no Botterill-drafted players on its roster. If Botterill wants to keep his job, he's going to have to acquire players outside the organization this off season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but they'd also pay us millions of dollars to show up and be the cupcake. With that money, pockets could be lined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
