To be fair, this is our third year in the league. Almost every player we have (Glass excepted) was not a top 8 player on their team, and few were first round draft choices. This is especially obvious when we lose in OT, as our team is based on team play, rolling 4 lines etc. We lack an elite sniper (I'm not a Pacioretty fan, he was supposed to be that guy, but while he isn't bad, he's not a 7 mil a year player). We have other holes, but on the whole I think we do pretty well for a team lacking elite talent.
I don't want the team to go crazy and trade the future for an ephemeral shot at the Cup right now. I would rather we just keep building our team and be a perennial powerhouse rather than a one-shot wonder and then be Ottawa for 10 years, especially as Vegas will always be a great free agent destination (good weather, great city, great fans and organization is uber first class)
