Quick Hits: The Cleanout Edition

Yesterday was the Wings’ locker room cleanout day so we got the usual barrage of GM-speak about what went wrong. Maybe I’m just being sappy but it feels like Ken is a lot more wistful in this one than he has been in years past. I remember a lot of doubletalk lies about the rebuild process. It may be that things have gotten to the point where he can’t possibly sell things so hard being behind that and maybe I’m just reaching into reading between lines for my own sanity’s sake, but it does just kind of feel like a manager who recognizes the end is coming sooner or later.
