Should they state the goal is to suck, play to empty buildings and hope for the lottery? Got to have goals.

I would prefer that my team's goal would be to contend in the playoffs rather than just make them.
I am willing to accept that it was simply the team stating they want to be competitive next year and not let complacency set in - but have a nagging doubt in the back of my head that they will shortcut the rebulding process and land back in the purgatory that is NHL mediocrity.
I am more than hopeful that I am wrong and we don't see a bunch of band-aids applied this summer.
