I'm with Busta and Nik on this one, this isn't nearly as bad as it was. There's a team here willing to spend to the cap, and it looks as though there's a better plan in place now.
What I think might be particularly difficult is getting through the 15-16 season...oh man, that's going to be ugly.
That last part especially is what has me worried. The media right now is waxing lyrical about how good it is that they are finally rebuilding.
I get the impression that when they are thoroughly embarrassed regularly over the next 18 months the tide will turn and they will start to beat them up about it and second guess every prospect that isn't in the NHL already.
Then you'll have the talk radio phone-in mouth breathers repeating everything Steve Simmons wrote that morning.
This will create another unbearable situation for everyone in the organization to deal with. I just hope they are strong enough to stay the course and call out the media when they start their crap.
