@Steve_Engstrom3 All the really matters is signing Matthews.
If he stays, they are competitive. If he doesn't they are in full tear down immediately.
Doesn't seem likely that he'll stay currently with this much self-inflicted uncertainty.
@Steve_Engstrom3 7 years of fun, skilled teams was too many. Time to transition to 15 years of boring trap hockey to not quite grind out a wild card spot every season.
Giving poor people money to buy groceries: bad for economy. causes inflation
Bailing out rich people after bad investments in industries they purposely & specifically lobbied to deregulate: saves economy. no inflation
Teach your kids never to cross a picket line. As far as real world, transferable skills they will need to thrive in the new economy go, this may be the most valuable.
@JeffVeillette Exact same set of folks currently ripping Matthews would have torn apart his teammates if no one had stepped in.
No win situation in such a delusional couple of weeks for the market/fanbase.
