Is that all we care about, being a playoff team? Screw that. I want a team with a legitimate shot at the cup over multiple years. We will never be that without a rebuild and franchise players (preferably a centre) to build around. To think otherwise is just fooling yourself.
I can‘t cheer for a team that won’t do what it takes to become that.

Things were looking pretty good with Bennett and Monahan down the middle and a couple potential star wingers under contract. There are no guarantees in a rebuild either. So many things have to align perfectly to become a legitimate contender.
To be clear I think a rebuild is probably the right answer, but I'd understand skepticism from ownership and management given a relatively weak payout on the last try.
