Well when everything I do is wrong is some peoples eyes, it's kind of easy to giving up caring what they think. I'm building my team how I see fit.

I keep getting told that I don't have a plan, when I clearly do.

There are a million ways to build a winning team, I'm taking my own route. Come see me in a year or 2 when my team will look much better. There's a reason I am adding all of these future parts like Harding, D'Amigo, Ross, Morin, Vishnievskiey, Shultz, Toivenen, Parse.. and I can keep going with the young promising players that I've added since taking over the team.

On the other hand.. I added Mike Comrie for a 7th dman and an average prospect. I traded him for a potential starter in Toivenen.

I traded Kubina, Turco, Salo and Khabibulin all for future pieces.

I am not trading my first round pick. You can take a guess why.

So come see me next summer and tell me how horrible I've been.

I'm beginning to think I'm the only person outside of Florida who's seen Lundin play. He's a #3 dman and I wouldn't trade him for Comrie.

Fair enough dude, but what lots of us are saying here, is that consistency and being reasonable in talks will get you further along then talking out of your ass


Some parts of your plan do seem to be playing out nicely, and the return for Comrie does looks nice when the entire forumla is written out, but once again, entirely inconsistent with what you were saying (I know I would have made an offer if you hadn't come at me with the asking price you did).

My asking price was salary and/or a goalie. How is that asking too much?
