They replaced one player on a team that wasn't good enough, that doesn't make a team that is ready to compete. It was clear as day at the time and the proof is in the results after the fact.
The media being idiots and dead wrong doesn't change reality. These are the same guys that largely picked the Oilers to get to or even win the Cup this year.
