This team isnt bad because Mercury is in retrograde or some nonsense, and its not just 'some luck' away from success.

They are where they are as a direct result of who they are.
Nope. Teams have unlucky seasons. It happens in hockey every year.

Last year it was Seattle. Couldn't score or get a save to save their lives. But the underlying stats were great and they rebounded this year.

It was actually the Flames from 20-21 to 21-22. Didnt have skill, couldnt get a save in the 20-21 season - but the underlying stats were there. The next year rhe save and shooting percentage rebounded and they won the division.

They team lacks some finishing talent but if you dont think luck plays a role here too youd be wrong.

Happens every single season in the NHL.
