Not surprised at all. This team is coming off a hugely disappointing year and have had a pretty bad summer losing Gio and replacing him with Zadorov/Gudbransen and only adding Coleman up front with no big shakeup. Johnny is not signed, Ottawa is reminding us how brutal it is to negotiate with a Tkachuk.
It is not hopeless but it is easier to take a pessimistic stance with the team than optimistic.
