If I'm Adams, I'm calling around to get offers on Jack. ..yup, it is true.
This team needs too much help and doesn't have the Assets necessary to get it in reasonable time in relation to Jack's timeframe.
I'd much rather they unload Jack and the losers who make up The Core around him like Risto, Montour, Sam, Mojo...except Dahlin, Joker, maybe Kahun...than keep these losers together and try to compete short-term with TO, Bruins, Lightning, etc.

Yes, sounds radical, and it is...but maybe they could acquire the right futures to seriously compete later.
Could they position themselves for Byfield and another significant piece to draft alongside #8...Byfield, Drysdale and Rossi/Holtz would be a helluva start. Could they get two more studs next season's draft? Engineer a trade or 2 for a couple young wingers.

Point is, there is enough to set themselves up nicely with futures and a couple astute trades.

Any and all options at making this team better should be explored.

Otherwise you aren’t doing your job.

I see the point and it’s just bonkers to think about. But there are some valid points in there. I really just love to watch jack play the game. I wish we had competent ownership....

Hey Patch...
Now with the Mods shuting down political and Covid discussions, I do hope you aren't incentivized monetarily by clicks...lol...really slow!

I tried to help Pach with the Eichel post .

You are better at driving comments...better get a new blog up about trading for Barkov...especially with the Internal Budget and now Dale Tallon exit.
The stars are aligned!
