I can't wait till they disassemble this team. What a sh it show...I guess I blame Vegas for chocking and playing down below their level.

You just have to build an asset pool, take a shot for a period of 5-10 years, tear it down, and start over. The cap just prevents you from (or punishes you for) paying the marginal players on your roster. The good thing is those marginal players are a lot easier to find than the core players. All the Flyers have are marginal players right now. Good points, you are right. It is a very different engagement loop, but there is still the loop to it.

I know I don't burn as hot and cold with any of my teams as I did when I was younger. Also a good point. I'll add on to it that the version/flavor/structure of the thing you used to be interested in is kind of set when you become interested in it. As it changes, it becomes less of that thing you were originally into. So of course you'd lose interest while missing that initial version. It's where that "back in my day..." cliché comes from, after all. So, fair points, I'm a grumpy old man at this point. lol. Always knew it would happen. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A game like that does however give one some hope that Hart can still develop into a top tier goaltender. That's a start. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
