Yep, it snuck up on me too. It's incredible how fast we went from discussing taking on a 5.75mil Mike Richards to get a good player or 1st round pick to being a cap team.
I have to keep pinching myself with the Hamilton situation. It's truly amazing how we went from a decent team on the upswing thinking about what might be in 3 - 4 years if we continue improving to all of sudden having a top 5 defense with 3, yes 3 budding star forwards.
I don't like predicting cups, but I honestly think we're headed towards being an annual contender in the not so distant future, and I think we're going to look back at this past season and off season in 10 years and go "Wow, that's where it all started".
