This "give the core one more shot" approach does NOT work because the players are OLDER and SLOWER -- when everyone can clearly see where the league is going. See: Ducks, Hawks, Kings and Canucks from a few years ago. The problem is there is loyalty and team culture at play due to playoff success which I get, but really that model is lethal. GM's need to be ruthless. Period. Tough business.

Watch Doughty go to Vegas next season. :lol:

Just load up on guys in their prime (25-27) and watch the magic happen. Not sure the Hawks, Kings and Ducks will ever win again trying to prop up their vets with low-cost ELC guys.
