I would love for you to be right! For me, too many assumptions. If they do, it's a SURPRISE not a natural, expected progression of where they are now (or where they were at the end of last year). You can't count on surprises in this league for long term success.

I wouldn't call it a surprise at all. I expect them to make it and next year the only team I expect to be better than them is Carolina. Everybody else is meh.
 
Finally tuning in. Eyes popped out of my skull seeing Zib get 2 points but now actually need to win the game here lol
 
Like I said its been a rough 16 games and the chances of them making the playoffs with so many key players out of the lineup is slim but future is very bright.
At best, their future can be assessed, as it stands, to being as bright as PAR for a non bottom NHL team. Again, the path needs to change for their future to be actually bright enough to WIN: they have no long term bonafide number 1 or 2 centers in the short term let along long term, Laf and Krav need to pan out, Kakko needs to actually put up points, they need to figure out what to do with Trouba and Kreider's contracts 3 years from now. There's a lot of unknowns that of course every team has, but it doesn't scream to me like "just give it some time for them to play together". They do not have the pieces in place, not for a while.
 
I mean laf did a good job accelerating and creating a 2 on 1. but that’s basically a moral victory. gotta do more than that.
