He's rebuilding just like @DickieDunn @frankgrimes or @LeftWinger always dreamed of. Just waive/trade everyone you dont like or is overpaid with total disregard for the human element. Zach Smith overpaid? F him, Sacked. I wonder where the applause is for this type of management is hiding? Plenty of ppl on this board have called for this style rebuild for many years now. Conveniently they are suddenly absent. It's not very pretty in real life. Melnyk is going to lose his franchise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, 99% of the players that I wanted cut, waived, not re-signed or traded, eventually got cut, waived not re-signed or traded.

Was for a bachelor party so we had purple bowling shirts done up for the whole crew like da jesus. Guy can roll I mean players that I have suggested getting rid of over the years have either been let go, traded, waived. Not necessarily the exact names of kids coming up, but players like Hudler, Kindl, Smith, Filppula, Andersson, and some others I may have forgotten (whom I took a lot of heat for suggesting they not be on our team) have all been ditched basically. Even going back to my suggestion of trading Franzen for Alex Burrows (which I took too much heat for) would've been a great deal in hindsight considering Franzen's eventual head problems that caused him to LTIR. Not that I could've seen that coming, but back then I was suggesting that deal because I felt that Franzen playing with the Twins would resurrect his scoring. Unbeknownst to all of us, it was the concussions that was causing him to falter on the ice. But if that deal could've happened, we would've gotten a full career out of Burrows instead of LTIR Franzen. I still think we should've dealt Franzen circa 2010, but in the end, he didn't play anyhow. I admit, much like some others, there were times when I went overboard with some trade suggestions, but for the most part, nearly every player that I didn't like on this team, for one reason or another, was eventually dealt, waived, went unsigned, despite the tons of slack I took from folks here for even suggesting any of it. So, ya, I have had some doosies of trade scenario's, but again, most of the players I had in those trades, are gone. So maybe the deals I suggested weren't the best, but 99% the payers I suggested to trade, are gone. So ya, the team I didn't like is pretty much gone, and the team I am liking more and more is here and building. 38 minutes ago, ChristopherReevesLegs said: Rooks will play which will be fun, but then the old goats will return and all the rooks will be lost to waivers yippee Nah, any of the players that will be there opening night ALL have waiver exemptions.
