You cannot be competitive without franchise players, and this team has none.
Any prospect who’s near-ready that another team would trade us still isn’t the type of needle-mover they’d need to be better than a bottom-10 roster.
Look at this post-deadline lineup:
Huberdeau-Schwindt (not him, but this what “someone who’s close” looks like)-Sharangovich
Zary-Kadri-Pospisil
Coleman-Backlund-Mangiapane
Dube-Ruszicka-Greer
Andersson-Weegar
Gilbert-DeSimone
Oesterle-Solovyov
Markstrom (?)
Vladar
Wolf
How are you going to make that ‘more competitive’?
The only NHL bodies they need to be returning are cap dumps.
