And EVERYTHING they have done in the last 5 9 25 years suggests that they are completely incapable of accomplishing that.
Agree, its sort of what I was alluding to previously, this is what they've always done, they take the shiny new toy and ship out all of their other, older toys so that the new one can take centre-stage.

They still have atrocious goaltending, the worst defence in the league and a culture of perpetual failure.

One kid isnt going to fix all that.
