Happy Labour Day, everybody!
The long weekend acts as both the final curtain call for summer, and a reminder that ice hockey is right around the corner. NHL camps begin at the end of next week when rookies report.

Why did we get this big speech about a core change, and nothing happened? was it cause they were to busy trying to draw Eichel away then to focus on the rest of the team?

Honestly, if the goal behind the “change the core” mindset that management reportedly had was shaking up the mix of the team, losing Mark Giordano to Seattle and adding two-time Stanley Cup winner Blake Coleman may have achieved that objective.
