I guess that depends on how one views "the current state of the team"
In my eyes, this is a team where it's best players (for the most part) are it's youngest, and only likely to get better. Meanwhile, those young players are being dragged down by older, expensive, under performing veterans combined with the worst goaltending I've seen in a long damn time.
Luckily, most of those veterans contracts expire after one more season, so if BT can fix the goaltending and then replace those veterans with better value players we will be laughing, because the young core that's in place is for real, and also balanced well between forwards and D. (unlike the tire fire up north)
