It's kind of a catch 22 up there - I hate to admit they are loaded with assets both on the team and in the prospect pipeline, but the flip side is they have a pack of complete idiots running the show and the structure of the team is just ridiculous.
Worst nightmare for me would be seeing them move one of their young stars for Shea Weber this summer.

Yeah fair enough, if they actually did the smart thing and got rid of Lowe and brought in someone smart, then they might actually have a shot at being a serious contender, but as long as Lowe is there they'll go nowhere. If they had half a brain they would trade one of their young guys for a potential top 2 Dman.
