I think it's fortunate for us that this is happening this year while Celebrini and Bedard are having the seasons that they're having. If this was last year and Bedard was struggling, Anaheim was still terrible, then Buffalo would loom larger than ever and the case against rebuild skepticism is that much harder. The fact that we've got positive examples is going to help the positive case. Yes, San Jose and Chicago still haven't won anything, but it's easier this year to imagine someone beating the Buffalo trap.
