Yes they are that bad.
Basically have no defense and god awful goaltending.
Throw in mediocre coaching and a lack of depth up front and it isn't surprising to see them do this bad.
They lost their top 3 defensemen (who probably all played at least 25 min. a game and were the only 3 on the ice in the last 2 min of a close game), lost 4 of their top 6 forwards and lost their starting goalie. The team was built to win last season and now is paying for it.
Also didn't help that there was no GM for most of the summer so the rebuild couldn't start soon enough and moves that should have been made in July are just now being done.
