I mean, let's face it. Another year where we barely miss the playoffs & ensuring we draft poorly, and the system will continue that way in front of fewer and fewer apathy glazed eyeballs at PNC Arena.
Clearly, the system isn't working. There's no due process. It's getting hope for change, then the soul crushing agony in January following up with a pointless surge to the very end.
The rest of the Metropolitan is either playoff ready (Flyers, Capitals, Penguins, Blue Jackets) or focusing on the far future (Islanders, Rangers). The Devils seem to be in our position but have a puncher's chance at the postseason.
I actually argued with a few of you guys last season for whining about how last season was a complete failure due to missing the playoffs & getting a bad draft pick. Well? This year is also a complete failure due to missing the playoffs and getting a bad draft pick.
We got (not really, but rather spitballing) good pieces in Aho & Darling, but the rest of the team is expendable, in my opinion. Besides, with attendance barely hovering above a 10,000 average & our lone national TV game getting preempted, I'd like for us to embrace the suck. Be so stinky, the 1976 Washington Capitals be like "DAMN!!!"
Sure, there will be pain & suffering, but right now, that's all we have. I know our new owner & GM will prefer to stay the course, but I'd rather have a horrible team than a mediocre team. My favorite MLB club, the Astros, did that, and look where they are now.
