If you expect teams to go wire to wire...you have a better chance following horse racing.
Are u saying it’s probable?

I am betting the flames will be in the playoffs. Anything is possible after that.

They're two points out of a playoff spot with 45 games to play. Why do you think it's improbable?

I didn’t, I’m just directly implying that success or failure is on the GM.

Right, and if they don't make it in, the team will have two playoff appearances and two misses under Treliving.

But they have to miss first for you to hold that against him. And as of right now they're 2 points out with 45 games to go.

Define success or failure this season. You seem to believe he has built an inept team. You stated that.

Make a concrete (not implied) statement on where you believe the team will finish.

I can’t, but I’ll expand on what treleiving did this summer.

Spends the teams 1st rounders, non lottery protected. He believes they at a contender and right now they look like bottom feeders

One appearance was inherited from feaster the other was a sweep.

Correct me if I’m wrong.

You mean like, right now? They're controlling the game against a team three points ahead of them.

Monahan , Gaudreau , Tkachuk, Bennett , Jankowski and Hamilton are or should be core players in the next 3 years. They all have a ways to go before they are at their full potential.

Going to take patience though.

Tre tre needs to be held responsible for the teams Results.

Is that unreasonable?

I never commented on reasonable or unreasonable. I was referring to your lack of coherence in your posts.

At what point do you expect improvement ? Do you think winning one playoff series is unreasonable for a cap spending team with no draft picks next season ?

No argument we have a 3 year window...soooo doesn’t that mean we should be better then 11th and a negative goal differential??

It’s not reasonable or unreasonable but rather an oversimplification of things
