It's been a rough existence for the 'ol Bluejackets. A handful of playoff appearances, never really contenders, many top flight, highly drafted prospects turning into busts. Rick Nash is the franchise GOAT. (No disrespect to Rick Nasty who I love but in 3 decades you hope he's not the best player to ever play for your franchise).
This team has just never had any sustained success at all. Luckily, the past does not always inform the future. They aren't cursed or condemned to be forever oscillating between mediocre and just plain bad. This current core looks sick.
Adam Fantili
Cayden Lindstrom
David Jiricek
Kent Johnson
Denton Mateychuk
(+ Werenski only 26 and still has many good years left).
Will this time be different? Will this be a core that evolves into something that finally delivers the BJ's sustained success, a spot among the leagues elite, cup contender status? Or will it just be yet another core that fizzles out before starting over again?
