this team lacks a 1st and 2nd center. solution: trade a potential center (and that will play center in the future) for a winger.
this team lacks PMD. solution? trade sergachev for a winger. it seems everything revolves around getting more wingers.
if the GM is incompetent, it's the president's job to fire him and get a new one. See Leafs, Toronto Maple. They brought in Shanahan who forced a tank and proper rebuild instead of basking in sub-mediocrity (simple mediocrity does not properly describe the pre-Shanny laffs) and now the Marlies won the calder, and the Leafs are stacked with prospects to the point where they have to get traded to get a chance to play in this lifetime.
Meanwhile in Montreal we have a genius running the show. He's going to save money by naming himself president even though he has no clue what he's talking about. he thinks that people were angry with the team because of the old hot dog stands and vows to improve it. until there's an actual president in the seat, this team is going nowhere unless they get really lucky at the draft and hit home run after home run, and to boot those players will be quiet dudes who stay with their moms and only speak whenever they are spoken to.
