This season is going to see a dip in attendence next year, a drop in moral, and a lack of interest by fans, players, and staff.
There are a few things the Ducks can do to re-energize in general.
1.) Get a new coach
Browse through the archives and see why this idea isn't another attack on Carlyle. All the biggest team turnarounds, started with a change in head coaches (SJS, WAS, PHO, LAK,PIT, etc.
2.) Draft a high profile draftee.
It won't help too much, but our prospect pool isn't exactly perfect. Besides, there are a few immediate impact players out there. If we lose all of our upcoming games, we can get a fifth overall or higher (then we can either win the lottery or trade up). I know for sure I would trade Lupul (maybe even one of our top defensive prospects) and my two picks for a top 3 pick in this year's draft. I will have a seperate blog up on Tanking for the draft situations.
3.) Sign a big name FA/Make a blockbuster move (with high talent return)
It always helps put fans back in the seats. And it also gives players renewed confidence in their team's abilities. Unfortunately looking at our cap numbers it doesn't seem too likely that Murray will be signing a big name FA. (There will be a blog up for that too)
So, now that the season is essentially over. A quick overview of what I will be posting from now on.
A multipart work on how the offseason should/will go, as well as all of the information you need and potential scenarios, restrictions, analysis, coverage etc.
Any news that comes up.
A Bobby Ryan contract watch.
Updates on draft position.
There will be all kinds of things posted to keep you interested in the team through the offseason, because I know firsthand how boring it is waiting for the new season
