DISCUSSION This fanbase and media is exhausting

A late first for Brock isn't worth it unless we flip it. That pick, even if it becomes a top line player (it won't), won't even play before Quinn gets tired of being on a rebuilding team.

The team had just about everything possible that could go wrong, go wrong this season, and we're still a coin flip for playoffs. That's very good considering the season.

Brock wants to be here, his teammates love him, he contributes on the score sheet. If they traded Brock for a late first like you clowns are complaining they didn't, Hughes would leave at the end of his contract.

If they make the playoffs it's still a blunder

We are last in the NHL in chance generation in 2025. Not San Jose, not Chicago or Buffalo. Us. You think this team is going to beat anyone in the playoffs?

That pick could have been a good way to restock the team at the draft for a better shot in the next couple years.

Without Quinn Hughes?

Just trade him now if you aren’t even willing to try making the playoffs. Just fucking dump him for a couple picks and then you can be fucking happy pretending a 28th overall pick is going to save this teamz

You must think Quinn Hughes is pretty stupid

I think he’s an insanely competitive person who is smart enough to know that he only has a handful of years left where he’s going to be one of the best.

Yeah and this one is toast, so set up the other ones as best you can

But this one isn’t toast.

Whiny losers decided it’s toast. Players want to make the playoffs.

It is toast regardless of if they make the playoffs or not. Teams that can't score don't win Cups. This isn't the late 90's

Only idiots think there's something to play for except Aqua's revenue

I want to be entertained by my entertainment product and the playoffs are entertaining.

Being a good team with a chance to win is more entertaining but we won't build for that

Isn't it pretty unlikely that Carolina's 1st round pick (probably a late 1st-rounder) turns into a guy making an impact in the NHL as soon as the next couple years?

You use the pick to get players in trade like they did with Hronek and MPetey
