Barring an immediate and substantial turn-around, if missing the playoffs after all that has been said and done is not a disaster, what is?

- Oilers get Brady Tkachuk or Rasmus Dahlin + Canucks get the other
- Islanders get a top 3 pick via lottery (our pick)
- Glen Gulutzan signs an extension
- Sam Bennett and TJ Brodie traded and proceed to get back to playing to their potential elsewhere, while their returns are throwaway pieces
Just missing the playoffs and regrouping is perfecrly digestable if none of the above happens.
