We're back where we were for most of the 2010s. Too good to be bad, but not actually good. In the next 5 years we'll probably have one overachieving season where we flirt with the top of the division, one underachieving season where we finish around 22d in the nhl, and three years either making it as a wildcard team or just missing out - like this year.
We'll probably even win a playoff round or two during those five seasons, but we definitely won't win two rounds in a single year.
The only way I see this going differently is if Wolf actually is the saviour. .925 goaltending will carry a mediocre team a long, long way.

I agree, mostly. But don't you think that a 0.900% would have put them easily into the playoffs. Average goaltending and they start playoffs at home, 0.925% and they are top in the west.
