When they came in and took over and swapping players taking everyone out and bringing in whoever, IT HASN'T WORKED!! What was the purpose of the Boyle trade? We get a mediocre defenseman and now hes gone for whoever from Philly! Oren and Len have been a flop. Period. I totally agree with you.

Koules and Barrie may be having fun but they are making a mess of the Lightning. It is easy to make a trade in the NHL - but that trade will be a bad trade. It is hard to make a good trade. There is no plan. When the team plays badly (which should be most of the time given the talent they have) you make a panic trade to make things worse. Can you fire the owners? Exactly.
