Funny, 15-16 didn't seem like a scorched earth rebuild when we traded away a 1st and two 2nds for Dougie. That team had similar expectations to be better than the previous year, yet finished 5th last and gave up the most goals allowed in the entire NHL.
My main point of that post was to point out that 14-15 season with all the comebacks was an outlier of a season where everything went right. Hartley gets a lot of praise for building a never say die attitude, but really, outside of 1 season, there really wasn't much of that.
