No chance they're worse than Florida, Washington or Columbus right now.
This season is nowhere near done for this team.

Maybe but you have to be cautious how you perceive the lost points & near wins. Don't forget there are at least 10-14 teams every year that could say if only they had won a half dozen more shootouts, had fewer key injuries, & held onto a few more 3rd period leads, they would have been much more successful.
In a "Coulda, woulda, shoulda" world the Oilers & Leafs are perennial playoff teams, the Flames, Sharks, & Wild are celebrating recent Stanley Cup wins & the Canucks are multiple cup winners
