IMO a successful season has the team either winning a banner (06 Sutter / 19 Peters) or winning a round (15 Hartley). You can have good years where you win neither, but to me that's the measuring stick. So we've had 3 successful years since the salary cap.
Back to topic, if Laine is available we have to look into that. Especially if there can be a swap starting with Monahan. I'm not on the hate train for Sean, but if Lindy is going to play #1C, and Backlund keeps performing like a #2 C (and he does) I don't see where Monahan fits on this team. Plus Columbus is aching for centers worse than we are. Contract would be an issue.
