Almost like it's better to just let them play and see where things go rather than put soul-crushing expectations on the team from the outset (Canucks will probably do that to themselves next year though).
McDavid was a blessing in disguise in that regard. Because the team had him, there was always the expectation that they should be doing great things immediately. It's ####ed up their management decisions for years now and they'll suffer hard for it when one of the hart twins leaves.
