It’s official, if it wasn’t already, we suck and we’re stuck in this vicious cycle of mediocrity. More first round playoff exists to come, if we even make the playoffs at all. Probably going to lose Brodie & Hamonic for nothing, but that’s okay, because we got big bad Forbort & Gustafsson! Let’s just keep ALL of our picks even though we’re in WIN NOW mode. Those picks aren’t going to help us win a Stanley Cup NOW. But that’s alright! They’ll help us in 3-4 years from now! You know, when our core is approaching the end of their win now window...

We should have any one or two or even three of these players right now:

Trocheck
Toffoli
Zucker
Pageau
Athanasiou
Namestnikov
Kase
Vatanen
Even Martinez or Dillon

ESPECIALLY Trocheck, and even Stone from last year (which WAS the year we should have went all in, because let’s face it, we’re never going to have that type of year again).

I’m not saying trade every single draft pick or prospect and sell the farm, but my god, improve this team please.

But hey! Like I mentioned, we have big Forbort & Gustafsson! Plan the parade boys!
