I don't see how this decision is so hard to make. We might be able to squeak in with a wildcard spot, but we would be waxed in the first round, if not the second. Do we really want to go for broke with a team that isn't near the Los Angeles', Chicagos or NYR's of the league? I wouldn't. When the GMs of those teams comes calling offering great value for expiring contracts, you do it on the double. Let the delusional Canucks, Sharks, or god-forbid Oilers make that mistake. We are still in rebuild mode, even if the light is at the end of the tunnel.
