After thinking about it for a while, I believe we have to go for it with this core. Get a better coach, add a player like Hall if you can. If a hockey trade that makes sense is available, go for it. But this is our window, like it or not.
Everything is so unpredictable. Dallas didn’t seem to be a threat, a bubble team was pretty much how they were looked at until now. The Isles, I certainly didn’t see them in the ECF this year. St. Louis, cup champs last year, first round disappointment this year. The Avs, on paper should be the powerhouse in the west, eliminated by an aging, bubble team in Dallas.
In 2018-2019 had the Flames been hot in the second half rather than the first, who knows what could have happened?
I think we’ve got to ride this core out, see if the stars align in the playoffs and we can make a deep run. With the parity in the league that’s what most teams are waiting for.
