A rebuild can be rough for sensitive hearts like me. The aggregate conversation that takes place in Rangerstown shifts from where it usually is in good times. From exciting highlight-reel plays that took place earlier in the week and excitement for big matchups ahead, to grim prognostication as to how everything could go horribly horribly wrong. Lias Andersson instead of Casey Mittelstadt? No top-five picks? Marc Staal? Still?
I recently did a series of posts on worst-case scenarios that I could think of, and you better believe that there’s plenty more of them kicking around in my head, but I want to make sure the point I was trying to make is clear.
