For those worried about term, although 6 years doesn't sounds like a long time, here's a little perspective:

6 years ago:

Taylor Hall was the #1 pick, Calgary didn't have a first rounder thanks to the Jokinen trade (and Johnny wasn't even drafted yet).

Blackhawks won the 1st of their 3 recent cups.

Matt Tkachuk's father was still playing in the league.

Darryl Sutter was still the Flames GM.

The Atlanta Thrashers were still a team.

An overtime/shootout win was worth just as much as a regulation win.

Also, 6 years from now Trump/Hillary will seem like a long lost nightmare with the new president already half way through their 1st term.

Seems far doesn't it?
