I think many of us would prefer not to finish 11th to 15th worst for the next few years.
I got the concept…

They’re going to trade Markstrom. They won’t replace him with a Markstrom level goalie.

Dustin Wolf isn’t a markstrom level goalie, even if we think he might be one day. He certainly isn’t standing behind a blue line with two legit NHLers.

They’re going to be bad no matter what.

They may as well be watchable.

(And no, I don’t expect this group to actually be a top-10 powerplay for a full year - but I do expect them to not be a monument to futility.)
