All of those lineups were not contenders nor is the one for next year which looks like this:
Pouliot-RNH-Eberle
Hall-Roy-Yak
UFA-Lander-Purcell
Hendricks-Gordon-Klinkhammer
Klefbom-Schultz
NIkitin-Fayne
Ferrence-UFA
That said, our lineup was capable of many more wins that our record shows but we can't discount the negative effect Eakins had on everyone's play as well his strategies in general were terrible.
The potential lineup for next year looks better than last years, much better than the year before that, and is also much better than the lineup we have been playing with the last several games.
This lineup still needs key acquisitions and the emergence of LD and Nurse within the next 2 years but with Nelson or equally capable coach at the helm this lineup is at least watchable, which is all i'm hoping for next year.
That line up is a contender for one thing only, another lottery pick. Someone needs to get fired if thats what we roll into next season with.
