Learn to let go of the old way of thinking.
This league is not setup like European sports. If you suck, you get punished with demotion to a lesser league. In the NHL if you suck, you get rewarded with a decent shot at a top-3 pick (reminder, Makar was 4th OA). So why in god's name would you chase the playoffs as a bubble team and get nothing for it, instead of chasing bottom three for a shot at a star player?
There's no shame playing within the rules setup by the league, and it would make our hockey more enjoyable over the next 5-10 years instead of wallowing in mediocrity since 1995.
