This insane effort every year to get to the playoffs with a team that is clearly nowhere near good enough to win the cup and gets knocked out in the first round, just means we end up getting nowhere. The aim should be to win the cup and if you have a team that clearly is not even close to being good enough you do what you must to get good enough.

If you expected them to use that type of explicit tanking (get a worse backup and play him more) then you will continue to be frustrated.
And I don't know how you can categorize it as an "insane effort every year to get to the playoffs" when they traded several good players, have a ton of cap space, and entered the season with a bad forward group, swiss cheese d, and unproven goalie.
