Vancouver should have made it this year and will definitely make it next year, barring another wackadoo set of circumstances.
Demko, EP and Chytil are all healthy going into the summer, they have over 20 million in cap and picks and prospects, the latter can help or be traded for help.
I get people love seeing nuck fans suffer for some reason but the optics are pretty funny considering all the doom and gloom yet it took our #1 goalie being out for 60 games, our star C not healthy until game 70 only to get hurt again, losing JT numerous injuries to key players with only Debrusk and Blueger playing all 82.
On a positive note our Dcorp was transformed, our goalie tandem should be damn good and guys like Raty, Lekkerimakki and EP2 all showed promise.
