Didn't want to start a new thread, but what happens if we miss the playoffs this year?

A couple of months in at the end of November, we were at around a 95% chance to make the playoffs. With the "weak" Pacific it was a foregone conclusion before the season started that we would make the playoffs, only question was if we would be able to wrest the division crown from the Knights, and that was just confirmed with our high flying start.

Well, here we now sit in February in an all too familiar position - on the outside looking in. Looking at a few of these projection sites, I see us anywhere from 42% to 55%, so let's say right around 50%. Easiest way to put it, we basically need to be better than at least 2 of Calgary, Anaheim, and LA between now and the end of the year. Anyone here willing to put their life on the line that we can do that?

So what if we miss the playoffs? Does something happen? Or do we just extend Koskinen and Keith on July 2nd and call it an off-season?

There HAS to be a major bloodletting if they don't even make the playoffs...right? After an off season with $20M in cap space, the season we were told that Holland would finally be free of Chiarelli's mess and able to make this team his own, going in needing at the very least a solid starting goalie. In the off season where there were I believe more goalies available/moved than in any off season in history, we still managed to yet again start the season with Smith and Koskinen. And a 38 year old Duncan Keith. And no more cap space...

Surely this would rank up there with one of the most disastrous seasons for a team that has had its fair share of disastrous seasons.
