Brendan Morrison was the top line center for a lot of that season for crying out loud. Then compare that to the 2008/2009 roster Keenan had to work with. Not even close especially when you consider Iginla and Kipper were probably at the pinnacle of their career under Keenan.
As far as I'm concerned Hartley has much better center forward depth than Clarke Wilm and Jeff Schantz in prominent roles. I don't think some of you realize just how bad some of those young guns rosters were. Much less talent in comparison with the rest of the league than this years team.

We are probably the looking at the worst team in the history of the franchise.
Now that's not the end of the world though as this franchise brought it on itself and has chose the correct path out which will be a little painful in the immediate future but as long as the young talent gets good development time this team can climb back up.

The 180 you have done since Iginla is no longer around to take all the blame is astounding.
