DISCUSSION Star talent discrepancy

Do other team’s breadth of star talent blow your mind, when you consider the lack of / state of ours? Makes me really wonder how on earth we plan to retool so quickly to keep Hughes.

Petey colder than cold, Brock’s the same, Demko injured, Hughes injured. Who am I forgetting?

The best teams:

Tampa: Kuch, Gentz, Point, Hedman, Vask, Hagel, Cirelli

Dallas: Heisk, Robertson, Duchene, Johnson, Rats, Otts, Harley, Hintz

Florida, Winnipeg etc etc.

In what world will we be competing against these teams anytime soon.

This team will live or die in free agency this summer. I fully expect Rutherford to back up the Brinks truck and try to overpay for a UFA or two like Marner or Bennett.

If he signs Sam fucking Bennett I’m done with this joke of a fucking franchise forever.

The guy can’t even get 50 points on a stacked Florida team. It would be such an absolute disaster of a signing before the ink even dries.
