Well apparently you're just looking at the standings. Yes we haven't really improved in the standings.

But you said outlook. A team with Gaudreau, Monahan, Tkachuk, Backlund, Giordano, Hamilton, Brodie, Hamonic, Ferland, Jankowski, Bennett plus young prospects like Gillies, Rittich, Valimaki, Andersson, Kylington, Fox, Dube has a good long term outlook.

Not many pieces have to be added to that core IMO. Personally I think having a good coach would've led to a big improvement in the standings.

But yeah, just keep focusing strictly on the standings in judging Treliving. A team's future outlook is dictated strictly by the standings one year isn't it? Or perhaps how young the core is, the nice price most of them are signed for is a big factor? Seems like you're looking at things through a pretty narrow lens.

Treliving has assembled the biggest collection of valuable young players and prospects we've had in the last 20 years of me following the team. Subjective opinion of course but seems as valid or moreso than your standings argument.
