We just don't have enough game breaking young talent coming into make a difference, we are likely to be much worse next season. We actually are bad this year, the record just doesn't indicate it thanks to Wolf.

Messing up the draft pick this year is for sure pushing the rebuild out another year and making the road back to actual regular competitiveness longer... I think everybody knows it is still needed but I'd say enjoy the run for what it's worth in the short term, out of our control anyway and maybe we can do some damage to the Coilers or the Canucks during their window. Also given what a huge mess Treliving made of the draft pick anyway, if there's a year to say eff it and go for it a bit with a bad team this is probably it
