I want to start by saying that I am not frustrated with the time it is taking for the rebuilding to be done right. My statement of 'mailing it in' comes from Hextall's responses to some questions directed at him.
I define filler players as anyone who is signed for 2 years or less. When Hextall says it is too difficult for a veteran to give their best without a defined role (that the Kings aren't helping with beyond waiting for the kids to get it right) and the UFAs don't want to come here. If the organization/Hextall aren't demanding some accountability of these players, then what motivation can be asked of these players who find it too difficult to be in this environment. (Last I checked, this is their job just as it better be the organization's responsibility to help make that happen.)
