Oh i get it. Anyone watching the team the last two years knew they had no chance.Problem with this part though, is that other teams are getting better and better while we are getting worse and worse. We are also aging in a worse way than the other teams in the East.
So to focus on two years of "BARELY MISSING!" doesn't tell the whole story. Those other teams are getting better and other teams that missed are now going to be pushing harder.
Also agree above to the 'mushy middle' sentiment. Doesn't make sense and really doesn't make sense for any of Sid/Letang/Geno/Karlsson either. Sid should request a trade because, of the 4, he can actually make a difference on any team in the NHL whereas the others might help might not.
But i think the owners and front office really think a few puck bounces would have changed anything.
We have a worse roster than last year, right now.
But i think they think this is contending.
Realistically, there's no way in the 3 years max we would have sid left here.
