Yes Stan has sucked all the talent out of this team by overpaying players and trading good young guys like Panarin, TT and Danault. He also destroyed the D position which currently is missing 3 top 4 D-Men to be a contender. All this thus makes the team lacking in "talent" and being below most of the league...
I have not seen anyone here say the roster is below most of the league. most here still assert that the Hawks have a really good roster. i, personally, do not. But I in no way said the team's roster is below most in the league --- rather the roster is middle of the pack --- # 11,12 if we are somewhat optimistic or maybe #13,14, 15 if, like me, you are a bit unimpressed. but that is not at all below most.
I still contend that Bowman has done overall remarkably well in this past 7 year window. Sure, some mistakes like the Seabs contract. That the Hawks are where they are is, in my mind, no fault of anyone --- just the natural arc of the Cap era rotating out the top teams (in this case, the Hawks). Q has made things worse, sure. But still, most of what we are seeing is just the Cap system at work.
