Definitely agree - at least the tank years held promise. We accumulated a ton of value and finally got our top center. Then we proceeded to spend all of our assets on Lehner, Kane, Bogo, ROR, and signed 7 year contracts for funsies. Then the new GM sold most of those assets for scraps. As for our prospects, we have completely failed to develop talent with terrible coaching and worse personnel choices. Risto, Middlestadt, Thompson, Nylander, Guhle...who have we put in positions to succeed? Oloffson?
So here we stand -- similar to the Roy/Vanek years - does anyone see this core of players leading the charge through the playoffs? ROR looked like that player two years ago, but it only took a few months of Housley to kill his love of the game.
Make no mistake! It is bleak around here right now and it does not look like it's going to get better any time soon.
We have very little to show for 8 years of garbage right now.
