What needs to happen isn't likely to

I firmly believe it's time for a complete overhaul: new coaching staff, new GM, new front office staff, new scouts, all of it.

And yes, I am fully aware of what that means as far as transition. I'll still take it over more years of mediocrity, eventually followed by that same transition. Right now, I believe we're just putting off the inevitable.

All that said, nobody believes we'll even be firing our offensive coordinator.

Mr. Scot...can I call you that?  I'm assuming that you've been watching sports for as long as I have, but in your experience of watching sports does every team have the best coach?  Can we somehow wrest Belicheat away from New England?  No?  Of course not.  Then again, even Belicheat couldn't get Cleveland going.  Speaking of Cleveland, don't you think our franchise is better than they've been?   We're one of the youngest franchises and yet "fans" bemoan the fact that we haven't won a superbowl...despite the fact that there are many franchises that haven't even been to a superbowl.  We've been to two, we've not won yet but at least we've been there.  That in itself is a feat I would say.   

All that said, let me clue you guys in...great head coaches are not beating down our door trying to get in.  We've got a good one now, not great, but good.  Maybe one day we'll build this franchise up to where those great head coaches are beating down our door but until then, live in the now and enjoy every win, every divisional title, every NFC championship, until we do win the big one.  Because if you don't you're going to be a sour sports fan that beats his wife.  Let's not be that guy.  Unless she makes shitty lasagna.

We've won enough games that Richardson can justify, at least in his mind, keeping Hurney on permanently.

(though to be honest, I think we could have gone 2-14 and he's still have found a reason)

Just like he found a reason to fire our best GM ever.

    • @PantherChrisgrow the fug up.  We read you whine and bitch about so much all the time, let someone have their own take on things instead of being a petulant child.
    • Florida is the only team that would be doing that to us, and it happens when we are down Chatty, Walker isn't 100% and our top players are being molested in plain view on the ice. Florida is bigger and just as fast as we are, they have the two biggest agitating arseholes in the NHL in Marchand and Tkachuk, have a solid coach and a lot of nice pieces that make that team the best in the East by a good margin this year and possibly back to back Cup champions.  I fail to mention Zito who has been aggressive in getting Marchand and Seth Jones plus other players at the deadline to fill in any weaknesses. We have taken the long term, we have a shot every year approach and keep coming up short.  This is the summer to come away with the last needed pieces and if that takes sacrificing some prospects and picks we have to do it.  We have Freddie who is a very good goalie, but I still think young Kooch needs more time - he shows flashes but he still isn't right between the ears yet. This is definitely it for Orlov, not sure about Burns although he has looked it the last half of the season.  It would be nice to be able to get rid of KK somehow.  Svech has never become the guy I thought he'd be so a pure scorer would be nice.  I still like where this organization is EVEN with RBA coaching.  Do we discredit everything the guy has done in years where we weren't supposed to make the playoffs let alone win some series etc??  We need a bit more size, but I like we added Walker, Carrier, and Robinson who all had some good experience and didn't mind showing some grit.  Who's Back:    Forwards:  Aho, Svech, Jarvy, Blake, Hall, Carrier, Staal, Marty, Stankoven (need to sign to a bridge at least), KK  (really need to trade him this summer or next year for sure, his NMC kicks in 26-27) Defensemen:  Slavin, Walker, Chatty, Ghost, Nikishin, Morrow Goalies:  Freddy, Koochy Potential: Forwards:   Nadeau (he was like a -20 in Chicago so he'll have to really earn Rod's trust), Robidas, FUS didn't have a great season, Bring back Roslovic?, Jost for cheap?? Defensemen:  Technically Nikishin and Morrow, but I have them replacing Orlov and Burns above, Honka, Probably will sign one who plays good D and doesn't break the bank Goalies:  Khazheyev?, Sign one possibly?? tl;dr:  Bottom line is we are definitely going to need to sign a Defenseman or two, and 2-3 Forwards with 2 being scorers and hopefully taller than 6'0".  We have really good depth at forward, we are thinning out at D, and our goalies.....I am just not sure.
    • You never really know when a team is going to turn a corner and make a deep playoff run.  I say take a swing, this could be like Tillman in 2015
