As soon as we were in the conversation for the division lead again this team has been total garbage, aside from maybe Drai. We had no choice but to get into 1st for a while because Vegas went on a slump for us, but now it's leaving us behind again, and the Kings could jump over us any time.
Fragile team, from the goalie out this year. No idea what the problem is, so many guys are just not with it this year. If Drai wasn't setting the world on fire we would be so screwed this season. Only 24 games left to start looking like a contender again.
Just to note, it's starting to get undeniable that we once again had an abysmal summer before another extremely pivotal season for the McDavid/Drai era. Aside from the offersheets even. Ceci for Emberson and Podz were the only good moves, but those are just to fill depth spots. We blew our cap space like dopes July 1st and once again did not properly address any of the actual holes on the team.
Extremely poor management just keeps being a handicap for this team. Still on pace to be the only team to not win a cup after the hockey gods blessed a team with a clear generational player. Hoping for some kind of deadline miracle from Bowman, but giving goaltending and top 4 RHD is probably hardest at the deadline.
