The current trend with the rising cap is teams re-signing their quality players. Does Guerin understand, and is he willing to overpay other teams in a trade to pry away a quality player? Is Liepold confident in the drafting/development of the Guerin regime, since homegrown seems to be the future?
Those lines are a patchwork of scraps you’d expect to see after a plethora of injuries in January - not something you’d expect to see with $16mm in cap to spend.

Foligno, Hartman, Trenin and Tarasenko… $16.25mm… 4 goals. Highly questionable personnel decisions… predictable results. Hartman has 1 year left… Foligno and Trenin have 2 more. But I guess it’s not like Guerin could bring in any free agents with that cap $$… he didn’t do much on Christmas morning.
I see at least 10 parties filling more seats in Parliament than any third party candidates serving in the US Congress. It’s hard to work towards long term, idealistic goals when your house is on fire and barbarians are at the gate. Priorities.
But that’s apples and oranges. The US government is set up as a two-party system. Until a legitimate, appealing candidate runs as third party, they will continue to be spoilers. The first step is to get money out of political campaigns. Then candidates can run on a level playing field.
The simple reality is voting third party means you are willing to endure the worst of the consequences just to make your point. This dude finished third in 2020 for the Libertarian Party nomination. I’ll choose a ‘corrupt’ bus over him.
The pragmatic approach is to back the party closest to your values. Ds support campaign finance reform, Rs want unlimited donations from anonymous donors. Ds want an educated populace, Rs threaten universities and are abolishing the Dept of Ed. Science, health care, energy, human rights. Priorities.
The problem you seem to have is you believe voting for a third party frees you from living in an oligarchy. I remember being told by purists that Bush and Gore were the same. As a result, an oilman directed our energy policy instead of a champion of clean energy. Perfect is the enemy of the good
You seem to be arguing that since both buses pollute, it disqualifies both of them as a means of transportation. Good luck fighting your battle for purity. I’m willing to overlook the pollution for the sake of humanity. Once humanity is safe, then I’ll worry about reducing pollution. Priorities.
Considering that both parties are polar opposites of each other, I can’t imagine you don’t have more in common with one than the other, unless you are a single-issue voter? A third-party candidate got us George W Bush. The beginning of the downfall of this country.
If there isn’t a bus that drops you off at your doorstep, you take the bus that gets you closest to where you want to go. You don’t refuse to get on any bus and stay where you are.
