Yzerplan is starting to look like a throne of lies.

I'm still not sure why they bought out Yamamoto. Seemed unnecessary.

Still, Tampa was setup for a decade of winning...

They had the cap space unless Yzerman is planning another big signing. They are tight on roster spots potentially, but waiving him to start the season would solve that.

Yeah... As a wings fan, there have been some questionable moves just about every year since he came back.

While his trades are usually great, he loves to over crowd our roster with mediocrity in free agency, and at the draft, they spend too many picks on high character or big size guys, that lack the offensive upside. Though the drafting issues I think is more of Draper's doing, still, that's Yzerman's hire.

My confidence is shook and it leaves me wondering... Is Tampa's scouting director the real architect of their success?
