Re: Tank Nation 2014
There is nothing to "tank" for. The draft is piss poor.

You're assuming that we'd only have to tank for one season. A proper rebuild requires tanking for 3 or 4 years at minimum.
now now, you know you would NEVER accept that as a fan.

And what would he, or any of us, do?
I assume he would be pissy on a daily basis here as you are when we lose.
Don't shoot the messenger. If the team had done what I was advocating I wouldn't have to repeat myself every damn year. I suspect that management knows what needs to be done but they just can't bring themselves to do it. They don't have the guts to give up on 8th place on purpose (and for more than just one year) in order to properly rebuild. Muddling along in mediocrity is the path of least resistance.
Tanking is not required to win. Of the current top 10 teams in the league, only half of them have tanked for multiple years.
Reservedly, there is 3 teams in the bottom 5 in the league that have already tanked for multiple seasons (over 7 seasons) with no success.
If the Habs had 27 and Sean Monoghan as their top two centers moving forward, or even 27 with Nikushin up front, we'd all be feeling a lot better. Just saying.
Oh I agree. Or 27 and Giroux.
true or the retardation of others drafting guys like Fisher
Drafting Giroux-type talent so late in the first round is mostly a function of luck.
"Proper rebuild" of three or four years?
Wasted - ages 24-27 of PK Subban
Wasted - ages 27-30 of Carey Price
Wasted - ages 26-29 of Max Pacioretty
Wasted - Galchenyuk and Gallagher on ELC deals next year and 3 years of their RFA deals
That's ****ing insanity. Pure insanity.
You have two top 5 picks there and a 23 year old Norris winner. Why the hell would you waste that trying to get a pick that might turn out as good Galchenyuk or Subban?
