Ya, with a little luck (i.e., no injuries to key players), we have a reasonable chance of making the playoffs I suppose.Not totally convinced we do but that's fine. There's just too many good teams in this division.
I think making a desperate move when we have no reason to do so is a bad idea. Hopefully Dorion can take advantage of our good expansion draft situation to pick up a Dman. That's an opportunity we should not be wasting.
But, I'd hope we set different kinds of goals.
I'd rather think long term. Knowing Ottawa and its owner, our best chance for more than just barely making the playoffs is going to depend on a lot of good young players that are our core on inexpensive ELC and RFA contracts. I'd love to be wrong, but I don't see Melnyk as a big player in landing the big fish/ticket free agents.
