I am not disagreeing at all. I was one all season who kept saying we weren’t good enough. The replies I got then were it was unreasonable to complain that winning at the clip we were winning at wasn’t good enough. That’s a valid point and it still holds.
It’s hard to fault management for the results last year up until the playoffs. Hard to think it was a huge issue that they didn’t do something sooner than the deadline. Especially since they had Pacioretty coming back. And then adding Ghost ended up not moving the needle anyway. They couldn’t just blow it up mid season and it’s not like the kind of help we needed was being given away.
They seem to be trying to address the issues now which is the right time to do it, and there’s a cost to it that we’re likely not going to love.
