That's what I tell myself , but 90% seems a bit high to me. And FAR better seems like a stretch as well. And here is a scary thought, what if they are worse?
Then we have two lottery picks.

Chara played on a broken leg and torn tendon . Seids on a reconstructed knee . I'd say it a 90 pct chance they are FAR better than they were last season

If they are worse than last year I doubt that yields two lottery picks. It will be confirmation that they are cooked. Cooked players have negative value.
I meant the Bruins and SJ 1st. Not what we would get in a trade for Chara+Seids...
Seids had problems with both his knees in the past, when that happens your goose is cooked.
Chara is 38 and has played about 1500 professional games (including international). Chara also has a PCL problem that can't be fixed, he is literally on his last legs as a professional hockey player.
ok , my bad. Your right about that though to a point, but how does us being bad make SJ's pick a lottery pick?
Dallas, Colorado, Calgary, Minnesota will be better than they were last year and all of them will be fighting for the wild card spot, it's going to be a crazy fight and I personnally can't see San Jose making it.
Hey, I'm all for SJ doing bad, infact I'm counting on it, I just don't assume they will be. To me they can finish as high as 7th and as low as last year, many things figure into that. If Jones proves to be a real #1 it could help them out a lot. They haven't lost anyone worthwhile and have added Martin and Ward as well so they should be better.
I don't really think it'd be as bad as you're making it out to be.
Last year, Trotman's minutes and GA/60 with the Bruins defensemen:
Player TOI GA/60
Chara 136:45 0.44
Krug 96:16 3.74
Seidenberg 65:40 2.74
Warsofsky 45:09 0.00
Bartkowski 36:22 6.60
Other 4 defensemen (Hamilton, Morrow, McQuaid, Miller) he played under 10 minutes total with.
He played the majority of his ice time with either Krug or Chara. And with Chara, he was exceptional.
Do you think he can squeeze out 1-2 years of reasonably good play with reduced ice time ?Seids had problems with both his knees in the past, when that happens your goose is cooked.

Cid has a point, if Chara and Sieds are still where they were last year this is going to be a very long season for us Bruins fans. The odds that they are better are just as good as that they are not. That's a scary thought. If we are injecting youth it would be imperative that we are injecting them into a strong base. If Chara and Sieds are what they were last year, that is not a strong base.
