I don't expect any big surprises in terms of getting rid of the starting players. I guess you could call trading JBJ a big surprise, but most would not.

    It is possible to win now while having a vision for the long term. Henry just needs to find the right guy to do it.
    It really depends on what Henry is planning to do in terms of resetting.

    Do I see Henry blowing up the team and having a big fire sale? No, even if that means not resetting the tax penalty. That means we still have our strong core of players and a few shrewd, yet inexpensive moves by the new GM will keep us competitive. But only because of the talent already on the team.

    Either way, reset or not, there won't be any new top tier replacements coming to the team any time soon.

    I want Henry to find someone who has a long term vision as well as a short term one. IMO, that was Theo and then Ben. Dombrowski, not so much.

    They have already said that Ben is not a candidate.

    Absolutely. Have you not been paying attention for the past 4 years? LOL I would welcome him back with open arms. My top choice would be Theo, but I'd be very happy to have Ben back.
