They have 3 players that are good: Duchene, Stone and EK. The latter of whom is going to be moved for a return thats less of an impact. You don't win in the NHL only have 2-4 good players on a roster of 23. There is absolutely ZERO reason why you should have any optimism about what is going on in OTT right now. To do so would be insane.
My argument is clear, concise and backed up with precedence. You are just trying to be fake smart without putting up any actual points what so ever. Have fun living in your own reality where none of Otts glaring problems matter next year because they will try really hard and are powered through your optimism
