The team is a complete disaster on the ice, but I do agree that the team is worse than the sum of its parts right now.
I'll give a slightly exaggerated example.
Let's say we have a team made entirely of offensively-minded 2nd line goal scorers. 2nd line scorers on every line. 2nd line snipers making up the defence too. And a talented 29 year old, 20-goal scorer, playing in net.
The team will be incredibad. They will lose every game.
But organizationally, how badly off are they? They have a reasonable number of assets. Almost all of their players are worth keeping. They have guys that would bring trade returns.
So maybe the asset pool is not as terrible as it could.
But I'm mostly grasping at straws with this one.
This looks like an expansion team.
