I agree that Poile tends to be patient. I also understand that with the way this organization has to operate that Poile's patience, depending largely on his decision making, is a benefit. As a fan base we must face the reality that we can't afford a GM that goes out on a limb for a high priced player every off season. We need a guy who understands how to operate with constraints. Don't blame Poile for the way he has to manage this team. Blame people who have both an interest in the Preds and the disposable income to go to games but decide not to.

(And Washington wasn't a big budget team in the pre-salary cap mid-to-late 90s.)
