Exactly. Getting a player like McDavid or Eichel would mean the season have been a complete disaster, more then usual and heads would roll. And by getting McDavid or Eichel it would allow us to have the kind of talent that will rather quickly make the team a winner al on their own. Add in Rielly and Nylander and a few of the other kids and it would not take long until we would be one of the most exciting teams in the league.

Why not? I do it every time we get eliminated from the playoffs, so like every year

Totally agree. So much more positives than making the playoffs, getting eliminated early and then continuing the mediocrity.

I think it's just a differently mentality.
Some people can't take a step back to realize the benefits of losing.
The benefits of trying to win have not been rewarding to say the least.
How would I like to see it .. Stanley Cup Champs.
How WILL it end .. Missed playoffs easily. The team is garbage lead by Phaneuf. They will not have any success as long as Phaneuf is here.

Really? Thats hogwash. When was the last time a team won the Stanley Cup that was an absolute shocker. Yes there are some good runs from unexpecting teams but those teams are one and done..that is their magical run was just that....and rarely takes the to the final. The next season they are back to being what they are...
Bad teams who sneaked in the playoffs and had a magical run.
YAAAAY..lets strive for that!

As much as I agree with you, the only team in the last 15 years I can remember were the Canes. Even then, they had an emerging stars in Staal and Ward.
Sorry..but thats a bad example..here are the standings of that season...

Canes were not all that surprising. 2nd in the East by 1 lousy point. Not exactly a surprise team.

Once it was clear we were bombing and missing the playoffs that's exactly what I did, and now we have Nylander.

I'll be cheering, and hoping for a playoff spot. I want to watch playoff hockey more than anything else. However, given the issues with the team (Carlyle's inept coaching systems) i'm predicting we will have a bottom 10 finish, though i'd love to be proven wrong.
I won't be disappointed with a bottom five pick in next years draft, and once the leaf's are clearly out of the playoff race, I'll be hoping we end up with a better draft position.
The main problem with making predictions is that the East is so weird these days, it's hard to gage which teams will falter and which ones will rise.
