Starting to think the 20 game thing maybe not be true? Even the most optimistic of fans have to be hanging on by a thread at this point. 

CBJ, you don't lose letting them score 6

I think what people fail to realize that it isn’t just Adams, he has a collective team of people in the organization before they make moves. We have all seen it in the embedded videos. Not sticking up for Terry in any such way but he has spent money on players or at least let them spend money. The problem is it hasn’t worked. How many GM’s, coaches, and players have left. We heard the last core was rotten, 3 of them win Stanley Cups after leaving and were key contributors in helping those teams. I’m talking about O’Reilly, Eichel, and Reinhart. Now this team is rotten. Both built by rookie GM’s. Even some of the coaches were reaches. Why didn’t Adams let go all these assistant coaches when Lindy was brought in? There is no easy fix to this mess.

It’s also weird bad luck that the two years we got the first pick none of the elite offensive talents were there. One thing we have historically lacked is a superstar forward. Perrault and LaFontaine were probably the only two.

Totally agree, sad thing is that Dahlin and Power were paid way too much without ever really helping this team take the next step. You have to wonder what JJ Peterka is going to be asking for since his contract is almost up.

Depends how you define "elite". If you didn't want D men you could have taken Svechnikov, or Brady Tkachuk even. Beniers instead of Power. 

But then you'd have to address D wouldn't you? 

Eichel and Reinhart are both elite by the way. Eichel for sure.

Make it four, you’re forgetting Montour.

When TT wins a cup he won’t that team’s 1C.
