Trying to make playoffs doesn't mean you have to make stupid moves and sacrifice the future. We shouldn't freak out at the idea that the owner wants his team to win

That's great and all, but the owner telling the GM they expect to be in the playoffs after a year like this is very different.
The goal is always to make the playoffs, but expecting it implies that it's a priority over developing young players. It leads to situations where guys like Baertschi don't get adequate PP time and stunts offensive growth.
