I wouldn't really blame Renney or Kruger given what they had/have to work with. The goaltending is very questionable, the defense is terrible, and they are weak up the middle. Just a terrible management team who can't even draft 1st overall properly, playoffs aren't going to happen with a team that thin. If one of their centers gets hurt I could see them finishing last again.
It can also be argued that they took the wrong guy with each of their 1st overall picks, but time will tell on that one.
