Why are people surprised that we lost because we couldn't score enough?
Not me, I called it before the season started that we lost alot of goal scoring but people argued we have the scoring and needed other things to help the scoring come alive.
Proof is in the pudding
I'll admit Domi, Bertuzzi, and Reaves all played better than I thought they might in the regular season however not enough went it matters.
Yes our core group failed to show up yet again but that is not new
Fire Keefe
Trade Marner
Move on from Samsonov
Add new bodies and hope the new additions are enough to spark change, the only other option is to rebuild and gift some other teams some amazing players.
The sell on the Marner trade to me is simple.
Tell him we can't afford you on a new deal give us chance recoup something for you while we can and you can start over somewhere else
