I know we'll have many injuries this next year (as we always do), but with a better coach and added talent, on top of summers of training for our younger players, there's no way we'd be worse than last year. I'm certainly of the opinion that we have a decent chance at the playoffs, and I've put $50 on it happening. Yes, several of our guys could have career years, including Markstrom. Is finishing between 12 to 18 from the bottom, and missing out on another top five pick, best for our rebuild though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANd yes, I think that's what's best for our team. Losing is for losers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing is for losers. To get those elite guys, usually found in the top five picks, means there is the painful bottom feeding part to a rebuild. Since the Cap look back at the Cup winners. Where, in the draft, did they find their elite guys? Other than the Bruins (and I still believe that was our Cup) the winners drafted elite guys high, after a period of bottom feeding. Some teams, like the Oilers, have to bottom feed longer to get those guys, but staying at (or near) the bottom is the key to future Cup level teams. Heck, where did we get the Twins in their draft? 2 and 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
