More than those 2 guys it seems basically everyone we discarded is having the time of their life somewhere else.
For me, basically from the start of the year this looks like a team being crushed by the expectations they have of them after the game 7 fail. Fastest way to separate yourself from that pressure was obviously to start fresh somewhere else. Staying here, sadly, an embarrassing playoff exit might be the easiest reset or even missing the playoffs. Just not feeling it from this team this season. No coach change to spark them is coming. Not even sure keeping any of the guys we let go would have helped all that much. None of them are actual world beaters and could be sucked into the same vortex of fragility that surrounds this group this year.
Hope I’m wrong but starting to think these guys need a major reset mentally. One that comes like when Tama got swept by the Bluejackets in the first round. Barely anyone on this team looks like they are enjoying themselves this season, even when we are winning. Oh. And we probably should finally take the goaltending position seriously in this org again. Would help a lot.
