People need to stop worrying about being in the mushy middle with this group. We were going to be there even without the signings in the summer. Maybe we would be on the lower end rather than the upper end but we were going to be there. That is the reason Trotz did what he did. Whether it turns out the way we hoped it would or not, it was basically the only chance to get out of it.

We may end up missing the playoffs, so what? Would we really be in any different position on that front?

Now going with youth vs vets is a different argument, and I think one that is valid to have although ultimately at this point doesn't matter.

At this point, if probably throw one of those kids in for Nyquist for a game or 2. He's been a Trainwreck.
Forwards generally peak around 24-26. Relying on 30+ year olds for FIVE of our top six slots was always risky, and we're locked into most of them long term.

Overall, we aren't 0-5 bad. We'll bounce back and end up being in the mushy middle. Our underlying numbers look a lot better than 0-5 shows, and the new guys will gel over time. I'm not panicked about this year because the reality is this was never a true contender, just more of of the same.
