The loss of Marky, Tanev, Edler, and Stecher, plus Beagle, Russell, Sutter can't be understated. These vets don't say much in public, but they are competitive SOBs and leaders in the locker room. Bo isn't enough on his own, and we got bunch newbies that don't have what it takes yet. That's why they don't respond well to adversity.
Like Oilers struggling for yrs despite having all those top picks. It takes a while for players to mature and know how to win.
