Outstanding content; I predict a very busy and the most important offseason to date. This team has to move forward.I believe a couple big moves incoming.
Tbf, we NEVER WIN THE LOTTERY. Kraken got a better pick for Fs sake.
Isn't Max's argument a bit lost when you say we've had horrible seasons and picked between 4 and 8 and got great players (edvinsson, seider, raymond). While also saying sticking around these same draft number picks doesn't have value. I mean we took Kasper at 8 we don't know how that will turn out but there's some good players to pick up which we have so I dunno if it's loses value. It only loses value if you don't make good picks. It sucks to still be picking at that number but it's not like we're not still improving.
In my opinion we never started the rebuild until Yzerman came 4 yrs ago and stripped the team down. We've been sucking for almost a decade but we've only started to build a team 4yrs ago I dont get why some people are impatient.
Winged Wheel Podcast Network still throws me as it sounds so official. haha. Not that y'all aren't amazing! Just that it sounds so buttoned up when y'all are just so much fun and informal.
Keep the content coming, and I’ll keep spamming the thumbs up button 😮
