Not only that the guy never made the playoffs in his career and that was his first and last time making it and if we got him sooner we probably don’t make it either.
Although you are right in hindsight.

At the time everyone was excited at the time, no one knew they would have these many injuries and lose the division. Playing Chicago on the road vs St. Louis at home is what killed that season.

Not sure which year was more disappointing, Anaheim 06 or Chicago 08. Anaheim i think we just need one more scorer, maybe samsonov and then we go on a run and Edmonton doesn't
