On one hand; what did people expect at this stage of the era, with the way this roster is mostly locked in for years and no expendable assets?
On the other hand; this team's just entirely content to be as safe and boring as f***ing possible for the final 7ish years of Sid's career, huh?
This summer sucks, but it was always gonna suck. Dubas is around for 7 years, so I'm just gonna kick back and hope Sid/Geno can do some cool shit while this team otherwise sucks shit to watch until Sid hangs 'em up in a couple more years. Hopefully he has some sort of plan and focused approach in store for the dismantling and subsequent rebuilding of the franchise. Until then, it's boring, slopshit hockey with a bunch of geriatrics and a coach with an ego to rival Jagr's. Cool.
