Lol. Honestly, I really don't get the hate on DJ Smith. I like that they're letting him grow with the team. Rebuilds take time, we're on only 3 years removed from the 2020 draft, and the players are so young still. Also, No coach is perfect but it's about what he's brings out in the players, the trust he creates, the stuff we don't see. I'm in for the ride
Rebuilds take time yeah but :
- Thomas Chabot turns 27 in January
- the Sens started their rebuild with an unprecedented wealth of assets. Look at the age Karlsson, Stone, Duchene, etc were
Then once they make the playoffs, will they have to learn to lose like the Lightning, Avs, Oilers, Leafs did? Because that takes time as well. Will Chabot win a round before turning 30? For reference, Taylor Hall made the P for the first time at 26 y/o and that was a big talk back then
I really like DJ Smith, really seems like a cool guy but I want to win more than that
