The Critic Posted February 18, 2004 Author Share Posted February 18, 2004 I agree ONLY in this sense: Sully is a very good complementary player on a good team. He is NOT a superstar, and he is NOT a front-liner. Yet he was leading the team in scoring, was he not? What does that say about the team? The SlackHawks will NOT be a good team for the foreseeable future. Their "cash-over-titles" philosophy will never allow it. A championship team needs players like Sully to provide an offensive threat on the 2nd or maybe even 3rd line. You have to KEEP players like Sully and ADD top-line players if you want to be taken seriously. The SlackHawks do NOT want to be taken seriously. They want to put as cheap a team as possible on the ice and hope lightning strikes. Not the most ambitious plan ever devised. Draft picks are great to supplement existing players - the Slacks have NO existing players. They have about 72 dollars in salary designated for next season, because their owner is going to make sure there IS no next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
