There's a difference between keeping the team together for one final run (like Toronto) and actively sabotaging your future by selling off your assets to buy into one final push. Sometimes you gotta make the hard decisions. Hell, I know my ass is getting traded in the offseason. I wish I could finish out my career with Moscow, with the team that fully believed I could be a franchise defenseman, but I know it's likely not going to happen, and I'm not gonna hold it against Spartan for making that decision. Yea, it's gonna be bittersweet after being there for literally over a year, but sometimes the right choice is the right choice.
I've been very open about my thoughts with Malmo and the direction that I would have gone, and you chose a different one, and found at least some success. I'm not against the idea of competing, but I'm against putting the team in a bad spot in the very near future and digging out of the hole that's been made with the all-in push.
