I just think that they still have time in their window (however without class or heart they'll never won anything). You don't sell many tickets if you dismantle the team that is still very competitive imo

God I hope that Van management sees it that way, but when you actually look under the hood you will see that they had the same number of wins as the Wild and also had the benefit of having 3 of the crappiest teams in the division. When compared to the true big dogs in the west they ended miles behind Anaheim and Chicago, lower than St. Louis, and shoulder to shoulder with LA and SJ and got owned in first two games.
But yeah, i hope they think "We won the division so we're fine"
