from Damian Critodero of the St. Petersburg Times,
So, what is a GM to do when his team has one win in nine games while scoring 13 goals?
Maintain patience, Lawton said, and faith in the players.
“One of the things that has happened here, in my opinion, the last few years, it has been panic at times,” he said. “You’re not going to see that. It’s slow and steady. It’d be nice to make three blockbuster trades and be first in our division two weeks from now, but it doesn’t work that way.”
Besides, Lawton added, “I have complete confidence in the group. At some point, everybody in that room recognizes and understands that this business, everything around it is predicated on winning. But as far as my confidence level in the group, I have tremendous confidence in the guys here. They’ve just got to get the job done.”
