This season was about as low as they are going to get, I don't see them possibly being worse next year. So either you try and add the pieces to be a playoff team or you give Montreal a pick between 11-16, that's what I think is most likely. As for a franchise player, very few teams have a franchise player.

They can easily bottom out with those players on the roster. Did you not see the latter half of this past season? They were among the very worst teams in the entire league. Every team has good players. They're not going to be at the same level as teams like San Jose and Chicago but they're more than capable of being a bottom-10 team — which they should be — if they don't make any short-sighted moves this offseason.
If Markstrom goes, and he likely will, they're toast. Which will be for the best in the long run.
