I honestly feel the 80s run of luck has doomed this franchise for decades since.
Need a big center to slow down Messier ... no problem here is a free Joel Otto.
Need a goaltender to take over the nets? No problem just call that kid up from the farm play him against a touring Russian team and then he'll just take over.
2nd round pick ... Nieuwendyk and 51 goals. 9th round picks turning out.
