- Cap-hell contracts like Lucic
- No prospects thanks to bad drafting. This includes the last two first rounders that I believe were bad selections. Bouchard has some fata flaws as a dman.
- No cap space to leverage
- A terrible blueline
- One line only
- The only signed goalie next year is unproven and overpaid

So you ask yourself what do you do? They simply don’t have enough to work with to turn this around. Even if they were to trade McDavid for a bunch of assets it would likely result in improved depth but lack of topline talent.

Outside McDavid this organization has the worst asset base to work with.

I mean how do you even fix it?
You basically have to commit to YET another re-build.
