#9. It doesn’t look like the problem will be resolved, unless there is a significant mindset change within the organization. It’s unlikely that Connor McDavid gets his Stanley Cup or Stanley Cups in Edmonton.

Don’t underestimate the Utah Mammoth in this situation. The ownership of the Utah Mammoth is a highly motivated group with a tremendous to win and be successful as quickly, as effectively and as consistently as possible. The Ownership and management of the Utah Mammoth have absolutely no problem pulling the trigger on any deal that vaults the franchise into a consistent or top contender at all.
