Look at this projected roster from September 10th 2024...I would have bet a lot of money this team finished bottom 5 and was in the McDavid sweepstakes.

As it stands I think I actually like this roster better than I liked the 14-15 roster on September 10 2014.

That roster had the emergence of Monahan and Gaudreau which pushed them into the playoffs, and I don't think we see that here, but I also don't see a guaranteed bottom 5 team.
The league is a lot better, and we added 2 teams both of whom are likely to be better than us this season.

14/15 was pretty much a fluke season, with a lot of comeback wins, and terrible analytics. Also they had Johnny and Monny.

I think people underestimate how bad our backend is.
