There is just so much luck that goes into the whole thing.
It’s why the narrative that the org or ownership ‘always’ seeks mediocrity bugs me.

They did what they should and were unlucky not to get more out of it.
The team up north did nothing they should but won a lottery. #### them.

Fans want to fire coaches and GMs, and fine if they do, but really the whole league is about a lottery.
