If you standard for a contender is that a team has one good regular season and nothing else, fair enough, but it isn't silly for others to have higher standards than that.
As for us going forward, feel free to point out how that happens in a realistic way?
Canucks and Jets have won nothing, but with those teams you can see that the Canucks for example had three young players- Petterson, Hughes, Demko- that are growing into elite players that we do not have. The level of player you need to have success in this league.
If we get that level of player on our team we can certainly revisit the outlook going forward but until then there is nothing wrong or silly saying we will not be contenders going forward.

Were the Boston Bruins contenders last year?
