Vlasic has been bad for a few seasons now, so this isn't new. They're obviously trying to be bad, but they brought in 2 goaltenders who have been terrible before this season, a bunch of reclamation projects that haven't worked, and after Couture and Hertl, their top forward is Alex Barabanov.
I mean, look at their defense:
Vlasic
Burroughs
Ferraro
Benning
Knyzhov
Rutta.
There's one top-4 guy there. 1. The rest are all 6-7-8 type guys.
