Hasso is a data guy. He had to know the writing was clearly on the wall, and in numbers. If you put all our KPI’s on a charts you’d see the trend pretty easily. And if you love and understand this game, then it was clear post SCF run we were trending down.While I do agree with the sentiment that the teardown is the easy part of a typical rebuild, this is a franchise that doesn't have the word "rebuild" in their vocabulary. The most difficult part, and I don't know how Grier managed to do it, was to convince Hasso to allow a teardown in the first place. The second most difficult part was offloading so many anchor contracts, never mind the returns, which are looking better each passing day.
He could have? How do you know? How do you know he didn’t?GMMG could have asked for a bit more from the Hertl trade. Don't know if David Edstrom ever could be 4th line center. Plus on top of that we lose a 3rd rounder and 17% retention hurts.
Good point. I was more worried about Becher's insistence that the Sharks were not going to do a rebuild, since him and Will were on the hiring committee. Also agree with your last point. The Cuda clearly need a fresh start and that starts with Will.Hasso is a data guy. He had to know the writing was clearly on the wall, and in numbers.

Of course anything can happen. But Hasso is 80 and ultra competitive. If he wants to win, we have to get aggressive. The next step is firing Joe Will or at least removing him from doing any general managing.
MG should stop the trade if they don't meet his demand. I would!He could have? How do you know? How do you know he didn’t?
lol. How do you know he didn’t?MG should stop the trade if they don't meet his demand. I would!
It’s not good business in a small market to declare a rebuild. As duplicitous as it seems, you still want the fans who are clinging to hope to show up for games. I still read dumbos on Reddit and TXitter saying we need to sign a big FA this summer and make the playoffs. LolzGood point.

You're just repeating yourself.lol. How do you know he didn’t?
No. I still think Grier should gotten a lot more the Hertl trade. Whether you agreed is NOT important.yes. Get it now?
I think he should have gotten McDavid in return from Hertl. What I want has no effect on the NHL trade market.No. I still think Grier should gotten a lot more the Hertl trade. Whether you agreed is NOT important.
You’re right, whether I agree isn’t important.No. I still think Grier should gotten a lot more the Hertl trade. Whether you agreed is NOT important.
