This was worthy of its own thread IMO. And I will start off saying, it was planned before I drank a few (and you all know how my posts can get when I drink) and also, despite the drinks, I WILL keep to Cmons warnings, since he has givin me multiple write ups, but hasnt fired me yet.. And of corse there will be many typos which is common from me. And so it begins:
Its not very often that a team has the prevlidge of being competitive every year, for the past who knows, at least 5? as the favorite. All while completely depleteing their minor league system of every draft pick and prospect except for goalies. And then, one year, a lock shortened season, has the chance to completely do something that rarely comes along... TANK and rid players, and gather picks, trade players and just miss the playoffs and while doing so, become so much better then anyone would ever expect.
Lets jump now back to 2009-10, the Blackhawk won the Stanley Cup, their toughest series, and Niemis ONLY standout series of that playoffs was vs the Sharks.. But thats not the point. The point is the tradeoff, and while the hawks dismantled and sold EVERY thing except there core off for draft picks and prospects, every person around the league cried "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!" And I just sat back and told my Hawks friends, well, yea I told them in pretty much this voice "Dude shut the fuck up, you have no fucking clue what your bitching about, this HAD to be done... Your fair weather, you dont know shit bout what your bitching bout, your team is gonna be fucking stacked in 3 years... and if you continue to bbitch like you know hockey all the sudden im gonna be really pissed of so please shut the fuck up!"
<--- That above is what the Sharks had the chance to do... It was simple, but then Doug gave the "5games speech" and suddenly the sheep flocked to the heard, they won 5, and the sheep were following again instead of using brains. Here is BRAIN logic. (and yes, clowe fucked this up a litte bit, but not much) Logic: the SHARKS WILL NOT IN THE CUP, Sheep: won 5 in a row, ummm dont trade people were good, we can win... Now here is what the Sharks SHOULD have done, cause they will NEVER get this opportunity AGAIN to replenish the minors, while not going through a complete over haul, and can stay competitive:
1)- Already done, Murray, love him, hes gone, 2 2nd rounds (the pens will win 2 series)
2) Clowe COULD HAVE been traded for a 1st rounder, I dont care what anyone says on this board, he could have. He wasnt cause Wilson didnt wnt to trade him to the West, done belive? Do your research. Instead you get a 2nd, 3rd, 5th - the rangers will NOT win 2 series and Clowe will NOT resign. Clowe fucked this trade, but wilson fucked it more. Any rental player of Clowes calbiber ALWAYS goes for a 1st round pick. ALWAYS, check the stats, AL-fawking-WAYS... Wilson fucked up. As pointed out earlier, look to the Guerin and all the other moves SJ or every trade every push team as made. Rentals go for a 1st rounder.
3) Boyle SHOULD be traded again for a 1st rounder. and his hole should NOT be filled until the offseason via FA. Because it DOES NOT MATTER, SJ will not will the cup with him or without him. And heres were me and Cmon disagree, hs value is MUCH higher now then in the offseason. A team in the push right now missing a top Dman, PP qback, etc will give up move now when they are in the hunt, then in the offseason when they start at ZERO 0. Because that same team may suck asshole at the start of the seasn. Teams SURGE... AKA LOOK --- DUH Anahiem, the ducks are not as good a their record, we all know that, BUT the duck on a tear may be willing to add that payer for that 1st... Will they do it in the offseason?? No way.
If youve read this far, you better keep on reading... With what I had suggsted, which any person with half a brain wouldve done, which any GM named Pitsburgh or Chicago wouldve done, which any "JUST BLEED!!" (aka mindless GO FOR GOLD - WE CAN WIN IT) fans would be against...
There you would now have 3 first round pick, plus the 2 2nd rounders from murray, including if they have one ( havnt checked) SJs own 2nd rounder, which would make 6... 6 picks in the top 60, of the deepest draft in the past, what? 10 years? An when you have them, you can either stockpile (chicago post cup year style) or trade in a clump, 3 first rounders for top pick, 2 first rounders to move up. Either wy it doesnt matter what you do with them, the fact remains, you wouldve completely replenished your farm, while adding players that are ready to go now, and be able to stay completely competitive for the next few years WITHOUT even trading our mutual biggest gripe - Thornton & Marleau. And the young cre wouldve still remained in tack. All that wouldve been sacrificed is one year, one lock shortened year. But No, no logic from the GMs, no logic from the fans, no logic anywhere in site. a 5 game win streak ruined thats and unfortunately we will be in the same bitch feast next season about who we should trade away when it all couldve been handle in one swift, non dismantling glorious fashion...
Look to the Hawks, Pens, even Detroit, etc... Hawks are much better now then they were when the won the cup.
But unfortunately, SJ does not understand logic... And thats why SJ is the Chicago Cubs of hockey...
