Oh no it could take 14+ years to be good? Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Yes, but see, it isn't 14 years for the Flyers because they weren't trying strategically to not be good. They were just inept turdbombs that ended up not being good.

Totally different things.

Buffalo will still be a cautionary tale. They've been dead last in P% over 13 seasons. Last playoff appareance was when Lavi used 3 goalies to beat them in 2011.

They've had more wins than the Flyers 3 seasons in a row at this point.

The Flyers also haven't won a cup in 50 years, so we're right up there in "cautionary tale" territory.

It's been *checks calendar* 14 years since the Flyers have been good....

What was Buffalo even a cautionary tale about? Bad managerial and coaching hires stacked one after another, wasting the talent they did have? There's nothing unique about that, and it should hit pretty close to home.

We see Buffalo and think "you can't talent your way out of bad management and bad coaching", others see Buffalo and think "tanking didn't work for them, therefore the Flyers shouldn't tank".

Eye of the beholder and all that.
