I get that this is a discussion board and people are free to express opinions, but it never ceases to astound me how many people still don't trust this management team after they dragged us out of the depths of the NHL to being a team that very easily could have found themselves in the finals this year.
Like the brainless comments that assume they can just force players to take whatever the poster thinks is reasonable would be much more expected behaviour if it wasn't for the homerun after homerun this management team have hit since they arrived.
Sad to lose Z. May have been my favourite player this year to watch. They will find other players. This sends a message of the team we are going to be and many of our players took that message and signed for less. That is a winning mentality, not folding to players demands and paying them more than they are worth. I trust this management team to determine what that number should be over random internet posters.
