Exactly.

It is so hard to win even for those that go "all in".

We see the franchises that are dumpster fires season after season like the oilers.

We see the franchises that go all in when they see a small window and mortgage the future.

But i'm hoping we have a management team that consistently keeps us in the upper 1/3 of teams. Keep draft picks, cycle in young guys, move out the pricey ferlands, stumble on a star once in a while, and stay competitive over a long period of time. Not easy, but it should be the goal of an owner.
