Playoffs are still within reach, but all that means is getting eliminated in 4-5 games in the first round. The lost draft picks are annoying but I'm not concerned about stocking the cupboards for 2-3 years from now.
I'm looking forward to next season instead. Get Smith healthy. Get rid of some of the expensive vets (Stajan and Brouwer via buyout) and come back leaner with a new coach and clean slate. Could do wonders for this team.
