There are two pieces to it.
One is how they play, and they are not playing up to their potential. And that is on ice, current coach, current team
Back to your point, the bad news is that although you are right, we are only seeing the beginning of it. The draft picks are what are going to hurt from about now moving forward. Elliott was for a 2016 2nd, that’s what Dube was. Draft year plus 5 is typical for lower round draft players to start having any impact. So those missing pieces won’t be there, it’s really hoping that what was drafted pans out

I think the team does not inspire with its play, but it's also just a shoddily constructed team with poor overall balance. Our best offensive player has serious flaws and our highest paid C does nothing a top C does. We fill the bottom of the roster with PTO-tier players every year (Nordstrom, Stone) and Ritchie, another PTO, has been one of our top RWs. What is "up to potential" for a team built like this?
