It's not just about how much they have to show for 7 years. It's the current state of the organization at the 7 year mark that's even more concerning with no blue chip prospects, decline of the roster, and two best forwards in Gaudreau and Tkachuk getting closer to free agency. They are going to miss the playoffs in the weakest division in the NHL where teams like the Habs and Jets are limping in the playoffs literally begging for any team to take their spot. The last time things were this bleak for the organization was the 2012/13 season when they traded Iginla, Bouwmeester and Kipper retired.
