What basis do you have to think they can't resign Carlo because they are worried about cap space? Last I checked they were sitting comfortably on that end. And keep in mind the player you so desperately want them to re-sign came to the team via a trade JD and Co put together... where we also got one of our leading scorers this season (remember the guy this thread was titled for?)
I don't think you look at the big picture; rather you just focus on little things you don't like so you have something to complain about. But hey, thats America.
I gave him credit for that trade, and the reason I think they are going to let Carlo walk is because they were actively shopping him at the deadline. Steen is in the same contract situation and they did not shop him.
I didn't say anyone had to like or dislike JD yet, I did say we should all be able to judge him rather decisively this offseason.
There will be plenty of room for movement this offseason and if we find ourselves scrambling to try and make the playoffs in end again next year, I think that will be very telling. If we find ourselves at the same point next year with 15 game or so to go worrying about trying to secure home ice in the first round, he’s done his job.
I believe the stat on the sight a few weeks ago that illustrated that we are not only the lowest scoring team post lockout, but by a large margin, should keep all of us a little cautious before claiming that all is well.
But hell, if you strive for mediocrity, this is America.
