I just think it’s exceptionally pointless to hold the expectation that you better be Pittsburgh in their prime or you better be burning it to the foundation like Arizona. Plenty of teams go from “one of the 20” to Stanley Cup winner. Plenty of “legit” contenders never win and rebuilds never rise above one of the 20.
They’re all aiming for the cup though.

Lol that's the biggest problem with this franchise!
They're always aiming for the cup without a cup contender. Going on 30+ years now. That's my whole point.
It is what it is now though. They've got the team they've got and they aren't blowing it up. All we can do is hope for the best until they're forced to start over again. Hopefully next time they do it right and get some luck too, because it takes a bit of everything to build a legit contending team, and even then it's no guarantee, it just improves your odds
