I forgot how awful the Oilers roster was back then. I think I will give Holland a bit more credit.
Which teams are bound for mediocrity over the next 5-6 years?

When some bust down doors, some succeed. Semantics, but as one can see, his agent may demand for his busting out client ..have a great summer.
The Flames will be well outside the mushy middle this season. They had a bottom-5 record after the Tanev and Hanifin trades. And now they've also lost Markstrom and Mangiapane without making meaningful additions. They'll be flat-out bad this season and likely for the next several as well, which isn't the worst place to be.
Looks like they were 7-13 after the Hanifin trade, although I could be off by a couple of games.

OK. Keep using the phrase "Busted out" and wonder why people look at you like you've got three heads lol.

sorry brother, other things to battle, bottom line Laf busted out from the "bust label" and very well could be on his way to a 10 million dollar gig either way the "bust" police interpret.

Guy nets 30 goals and 50 assists this upcoming year riding shotgun to Breadman will obtain huge leverage for the big payday.

I imagine you as an angry chihuahua.
All Habs fan said so. The moment MTL got Demidov the usual gang would show up to spread hate on the kid.
Just FYI mediocre means average to good-ish.
Average to good-ish end of year result.
MTL? We're like 2 years in the rebuild. We're good amigo.
It eases his pain.
It really depends on what you define as mediocrity. I think Nashville, Winnipeg, St. Louis and the Islanders is the answer, because it doesn't feel like there is much untapped potential with these teams - they are what they are. Jets might be a surprise but they're going to have to beat one of the Avs/Stars in a best of 7 and I just can't see that happening, especially with the steps they've taken to make their team worse this offseason, and unless they hit a home run on a draft pick they're probably perpetually stuck getting rounded.

Mediocre means average. It denotes the state of averageness that locks a thing firmly away from greatness, being a winner, contending, success.
The Leafs are textbook mediocre. 5 plus decades of zero success, never winning, always a pretender at best, lightyears away from greatness.

Most likely the Flyers, unless by some grace of god Michkov saves the franchise and Danny B performs a miracle or 3.
The Flames weren’t mediocre last year. And without Tanev, Lindholm, Hanifin, Markstrom and Mangiapane they’re going to be a lot worse this year and likely for years to come. I think they’re much more likely to be collecting top 5 picks than sitting in the 11th - 20th overall area.

Define mediocrity in this case.I sense an opportunity to make a profit here.
But words have usages not inherent meaning. Mediocre is often used in the sense that something is substandard and undesirable.

First two are good.
Washington have super class Ovechkin.
Pittsburgh have world class Crosby.
St.Louis are bad.

Mediocre is considered "worse" than bad in pro sports, because being bad is theoretically rewarded with magic beans that should bring you back to good quicker. Mediocre is mediocre and stays there. There is a reason fans embrace the tank when seasons go sideways. And that's because being bad is preferable to being mediocre. But that doesn't mean a mediocre team is bad. It's just mediocre...

Mediocre doesn’t mean staying there necessarily, you could have been bad, and then moved to mediocre, on way to being good.
