So who's at fault Chayka Sundin Hiller or Pelley. Make up your mind. Pelley inherited the mess left behind by the Shanaplan. They have three big contracts with no move clauses and a departing superstar who wouldn't waive his no NMC and then left via free agency. No first round draft selections for the next two seasons and very little after that, and not much prospect capital. Matthews NMC and was injured most of last season and low trade value at the time. Nylander NMC won't waive it and lazy on defence. Reilly NMC, won't waive it and no team wants him even if he does. Rock meet hard place. So now please explain what he should've done.
So whats the plan. Wait until the last minute and watch him sail off into the sunset like Marner? This year is clearly a bust. It's a little over a year until next years trade deadline. This team won't be contending for anything next year either. Start blowing up the team and they will get the message
