It can still happen for sure.
But core is older. Who knows how long Ekholm has at this level. Hyman and Nuge in 30s. Kane is older. Nurse not good.
Can get out of some of that but every year will get harder.

I think we got to the finals with Drai busted for 2 and a half series. I think McDavid and Drai both could put him amazing playoff performances for another half decade still. Hyman and Ekholm probably play at a very high level for at least another couple years.
Need to pull off a trade for a really solid RHD to play with Nurse or Broberg. Need a good possession playmaking winger for McDavid that can keep up and actually appear as a threat carrying the puck once in a while, so it's not always a no brainer McDavid swarm by the opposition. Nuge is not that guy, at all. Hyman isn't either. That guy doesn't exist on this team aside from Drai now and then, until they go into fancy boy mode playing together.
Those are upgrades we needed to do a year ago honestly. The issues with the team were already obvious then. Crazy individual performances by a few guys, and some very timely adjustments by Knob hid the issues. Coming up with playing Kulak or Broberg on their off side to make up for our terrible RHD depth was genius, truly and probably was a top reason we extended our playoffs past the 3rd round.
Gotta get much needed upgrades done now, no excuses. And have some balls to play by the same rules everyone else is if you have an injured player at the deadline. We could have added a winger or RHD at the deadline this year with LTIR space. And we could have had a healthy Kane. We may have actually been able to overcome Holland this season against all odds. Unfortunately, Holland needed to do the thing that was needed to overcome himself. Quite the conundrum.
