Sigh.

Well. Maybe they can curry some early favour by sacking Berube as their first act/announcement.
 
I'm going to give them every opportunity it's to prove it....but moves need to happen. This exact team can't come back. This blueline can't come back. This coaching staff can't come back.

If we go into the season in a "watch and wait" mentality I'm going to turn on it quickly
 
I'm so ready to grab my pitchfork. I don't think I've hated this team and franchise more than I do right now.
 
That's a pretty weird title for Sundin. I want to give this choice the benefit of the doubt, but gut wise this just doesn't sit right. I feel like we're entering JFJ 2.0.
 
I really don't like the deep dives that have been leaking out over the last week or two in how Chayka was viewed by others in the Coyotes organization.

Pelley is a cancer on this franchise and if he is even remotely involved in decision making it's a major problem.

I’ve been very down on Shanahan since Dubas left — I believe that BS is responsible for stubbornly sticking with a decidedly not-Hawks core and burning so many assets, all the way up to Minten + a 1st, futilely trying to get them over the hump and that Dubas’s crash out was his desperate attempt to change the course the team was then on, ultimately stayed on, and has now led us to this sad place — but, gotta say, woefully mismanaging assets is way better than… this. Gotta credit Shanahan for at least insulating us all from ownership’s goofiness. I hope for the best, but this looks very bad.
 
I’m willing to see what this new management team can do before I grab my pitchfork. Lol. We often get an unexpected and pleasant surprise when everyone is in agreement that things will only get worse. Maybe this season was rock bottom. We’ll find out soon enough.

Hard to believe with a track record like Chayka.
