I realize they only won 16 games last season but they were young and showed lots of effort and promise. To trade a kid like Turner Ottenbriet for a 20 yr old is beyond ridiculous. Can you imagine trying to play for this guy as a young kid, watching players come in and out like a revolving door. They probably don't even unpack after a road trip worried they might be shipped out the next day.
As much criticism Molleken took he was a very respected coach and GM. He always thought about the player first. These are kids, He always respected that fact. Yes I know hockey is a business but when your dealing with 16-19 yr. old kids its a different story. See Derak Hulak trade, and see Matt Revel trade.
I was so excited for this season and planned on going to many games but to be honest with you I have already lost interest. And it has nothing to do with the players or their losing streak. These poor kids have a different line mate and teammate every practice.
