They seemed poised to be in the mix for McDavid in 2015 but that team makes the playoffs and wins a round. They follow that up with a bottom 5 finish, then back in the wildcard, then outside the playoffs, then win the division, they go back on the bubble, they miss the playoffs, they win the division, they finish 9th in the west, then pick 9th overall, back to 9th in the west, now are bottoming out.


When is the team going to be consistently good or consistently bad? When expectations are low they seem to do better but when they are high the team seems to fail to meet them.

When will that stop?

Feels like you could discuss that in the 73 other threads about it than immediately trying to steer yet another thread that direction with the second post.
