Bubble Franchise since 1990. A few years of rock bottom with the young guns followed by being a lower tier contender with Iginla and Co. to rock bottom again the beginning Hartley years to it looks like bubble / lower tier contender status with Johnny and Co. At this point I would settle to be like San Jose. A consistent threat for the conference every year but not a cup favourite. Were never quite over the hump to be a top team. We always seem to only be able to draft up one top tier player. We've never had two like a Malkin and Crosby or Kane and Toews. Its always one star and a motley crew of very good not all star players. I think we needed a home run on Bennett to become a top tier team this cycle but it didnt happen.
