Exactly. Pens & Caps aren’t good answers. They might be mediocre for 1 or 2 more seasons, but eventually they will be just bad. Especially the PensWashington and Pittsburgh are just bad.

I would argue that not making the playoffs is bad, and making the playoffs is good. You can't spin it into any other measure. So many teams would kill to have their team make the playoffs. It was awful when my team didn't make the playoffs.Making the playoffs only to flame out in the first round is just as bad. Mediocre would be the teams ranked 11th to 20th. Higher than that is good and lower than that is bad.
For years DET had one of the higher payrolls, had a team of hall of fame players, but lost in the 1st round. It must have sucked, but you would have that then never making the playoffs. OTT was the same. Eventually teams figure it out.IMO, mediocrity isn't necessarily missing the playoff. It could be making the playoffs with a very low probability of advancing.
Well maybe the OP needs to define it better. Mediocre can't be making the playoffs every year.
To me it's being 9th or 10th every season. Not good enough to make the playoffs, but not bad enough to be a lottery team.
Ya that’s where I think most would have mediocrity as well, in that range.Making the playoffs only to flame out in the first round is just as bad. Mediocre would be the teams ranked 11th to 20th. Higher than that is good and lower than that is bad.
Because Treliving improved the defense, they have one more year of JT/MM, and their so called stars are in their prime. I can't see how Toronto could be mediocre for the next 5 years.You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but, as I said earlier, I would say calling a team that has one playoff win in 20+ seasons mediocre is actually being quite generous to that team.
Speaking of generous, calling a team that finishes 9th or 10th, mediocre is very kind. I would call that team bad, or sub-par at best.
Why are you so hung up semantics?
I can think of 10 contracts immediately that are far worse.This thread was literally made for vancouver
elias petersson is the worst contract in the NHL

oh Leafs are screwed, they will need alot to go right to win now. the window isnt closed but it might as well beWith a Mitch Marner extension seemingly inevitable, I think the Toronto Maple Leafs have lost their chance to get out from under the mess that Kyle Dubas created and unfortunately it's going to be like Groundhog Day in Leaf Nation.
Laf is somehow a bust, but also simultaneously going to successfully demand $10M/year.Rangers as they may have to pay 12 million for a goalie and 10 million for a busted out 1st overall soon. Going to be interesting
busted out my friend, busted out.Laf is somehow a bust, but also simultaneously going to successfully demand $10M/year.
... Interesting.
busted out my friend, busted out.
First overall showing serious mettle in the playoffs scoring huge goals while other softies on his team melting then most likely going to flirt with a point a game playing with Breadman along with the cap Rising plus playing in the little old city of Manhattan is not going to be a reach to see his agent demanding 10 million soon enoughCool.
... So how's he gonna demand $10M/year?
