There was no actual trending up with the young guns. Individual players may have got better, but any player that became worth money, was traded, because draft picks and blue chip prospects were cheaper than good players.
Make no mistake, during the late ninties/early 2000's, we couldn't seriously compete in the NHL with our payroll.
