If I'm a GM and my team is in the bottom third of the standings I don't just look at the standings and go ... "oh we suck, I get it"
I probably look into why.
Is our goalie brutal?
Special teams?
Are we getting out played?
Are bounces a part of this?
Finishing skills?
If my team is getting 40% of the shots, shot attempts and scoring chances and we missed the playoffs it's a very different off season than if we were 2nd in all those categories and found a way to lose.
To just look at the standings would be a) lazy and b) negligence
