Precisely.
A Montreal/Dallas run is at least possible with a couple elite players injected into this lineup.
With the current make up and core we're first round fodder through and through.
Basically, either go big or go rebuild. We're merely passing time continuing on the same trajectory and MO that we have of late. We'll drain guys like Gaudreau's careers and accomplish nothing, which would be a travesty.
Give them a chance or flip them and build from the ground up.
Tinkering around with ####ing Simons and Pitlicks just to maintain status quo and otherwise keeping this B-level core as is does #### all for us.
Besides, Markstrom might actually be good enough when healthy to be that goalie you can make a run with.
Why did we acquire him and Sutter if we're going to sit around and twiddle our thumbs here.
