I don't want a guaranteed Cup or anything. I think the most realistic goal to strive for is the Sharks for about 15 years there until they went crazy with contracts for old guys. Basically, be in contention to finish 1st in your division every year, and by osmosis you should win some playoff rounds. I think that is what Darryl was striving for, but he got the whole "who should be coach and who should be GM" thing backwards. I think this thing would have worked if Darryl stayed as HC and hired a Treliving to implement his vision. NFL model where some coaches are effectively the boss of the GM...
