This Team has mastered in doing just enough to lose a game

At least Batherson was visible for a change

Should've traded Batherson and Norris in the offseason for top-4 dmen
I don’t think that would make much of a difference. Until our forwards can actually hit the net in crucial moments we will be stuck in .500 hell. Stu is great but him getting 2 assist when we’re already down 3-0 in a game means f*** all. Score on your chances when the game is actually winnable.

Look, I'm not suggesting this roster should be ran back next year. But this season was always going to be about assessing where the team was at and who would stay, who would go. Staios is still handcuffed by a litany of Dorion's blunders - not least of which is the loss of a 1st round pick this year or next. So any moves are going to likely be of the player-in-player-out variety. Truth is, there aren't many beyond Stutzle, Tkachuk, Sanderson, Pinto that would fetch much of anything right now. So the best course is to have patience and hope that some players improve their value ahead of the off season - then maybe we see some moves. Personally, I'd like to see some guys spend a night in the press box and be embarrassed by it - Norris, Greig, Amadio come to mind immediately, I'd let Tkachuk sit for a period next time he tried a stupid trick shot, and Cousins/Gregor...not sure one shouldn't be waived rfn to make room for Ostapchuk to stay full-time.

Or maybe Perron and Pinto come back and everything is good again!

Good post, overall I agree with all your points. Just seemed from a small sample size this team could make it to the playoffs and maybe get lucky. Now it seems maybe we get lucky and make the playoffs and get destroyed. Specifically I point out Brady as being below an acceptable standard for captain in everything but points. How can we be a threat when our captain is a liability half of the season. It hurts after this long and can’t kick the can down the road much longer befor checking out again and maybe in 2030 it’s worth watching sens again
