tbh i gotta agree with u @DucksNation, gauthier wouldve been nice to have and larkin drama just adds more uncertainty to our cap situation, idk how theyre gonna fit both contracts now man

@LottoBallLarry: I told you we'd be worrying about cap space, 10 years and counting...

yeah 10 years and counting is a whole lotta worrying about cap space lol i swear if we cant get gauthier signed now itll be another year of us trying to retool on the fly man

ngl @section114ana, another year of "retooling" sounds like deja vu, cant believe we're in this spot again man

ngl i feel like you're right @Ducks19, deja vu is a real thing around here and we cant keep putting off our rebuild tbh we need some actual change this time man

yeah @mike_ducks i feel like people keep saying that but the GM still gets hired every year man honestly i dont think its as simple as just "change" this time

ngl i get where u're comin from @DucksNation but at some point we gotta stop just rehiring the same guy who's been leading us on this merry-go-round tbh

tbh i think u hit the nail on the head @mike_ducks, this whole "same guy" thing is definitely a part of the problem honestly gotta hope the next GM is actually willing to rip things apart and start fresh man

ngl i feel like starting from scratch sounds great in theory but we gotta find someone who's actually gonna make the tough decisions and not just be another puppet for holland tbh

ngl i feel like you hit it on the head too, gotta find someone who's gonna make some real changes and break up this toxic culture in here @section114ana man honestly think thats a bigger issue than just getting cap space cleared up

@Ducks19 Reminds me of the '97 club. Patience was rewarded then and it will be again. But as for toxic culture, I fear we're talking about the franchise's identity now.

tbh i think breaking up the toxic culture is a no-brainer man, idk how holland's kept it going this long honestly feels like we're stuck in some neverending nightmare with him at the helm

tbh i feel like you're underselling the problem @mike_ducks, holland's kept us stuck in limbo for way too long man honestly gotta hope someone comes in and actually gets rid of that toxic culture

man i feel u honestly gotta believe someone like gardner or some other gm comes in and makes those tough cuts, breaks up the stalemates and starts building for the future ngl we cant keep running this team into the ground with holland at the wheel anymore

yeah @mike_ducks i get what u mean about gardner coming in and cleaning house, but im still worried he's got connections to holland from his nhl gm days so idk if we can even trust him to make the hard cuts ngl

u gotta wonder about gardners loyalty after working w him at the league level, i mean idk if u can trust someone who comes in and cleans house but still has ties to holland ngl that'd kill me man

i gotta think gardners connections to holland r a problem man @section114ana i feel u on that one, cant imagine trusting someone with ties to the guy who's been runnin this team into the ground ngl

cant imagine trusting someone with ties to holland either man it's like having a blind spot on d and we all know how that turns out ngl
