Bahl playing on this team is a direct result of this team trading away their #1 goalie.
When vets leave, it opens up space for other players to grow. I dont consider Frost old. A transitional piece...probably. But he was 25 when they traded for him. Not "old".
They are 100% going to acquire guys in the 25-30 range again in the next 2-4 years. I promise. Every team does.
Enjoy the win. No need to make excuses for when they play well. Not every team loses a back to back game.

Way to completely miss the point. I never said there wasn't something great happening here. I said this team isn't good at this particular moment in time.
And I also saw this team frantically rush a rebuild following the 2nd round appearance in 2015. And I'll be damned straight to hell if they rush this one too.
And I never said Frost was old (lol?) I said acquiring him and Farabee wasn't a rebuilding move, it was a smart move by Conny, a value move, but not a rebuild move. Trying to cite recent games by these two players as evidence of a rebuild bearing fruit is... a bit silly I'd say.
Any team can get hot for short bursts while they are playing pressure-free hockey. I don't know why you think these recent games are anything other than that.
