It's shocking, & silly, how heavy some are dumping on them right now...
The reality is that 3 years ago they were coming off of back to back sub-70pt seasons.
Right now, they are back to back 100pt seasons, 3 straight playoffs with two straight game 7 playoff losses (as disappointing as the first round exits are, their 8 playoff wins in 3 yrs is more than we've had in 5).
Their biggest problem right now is that they have too much elite talent to afford them all, whereas we're on our third straight year with cap space to burn and nothing close to the elite talent, outside of Price, that they have.
Dubas has difficult decisions to make, to be sure, and how he navigates the wealth of talent he has to work with to push his team further towards a cup will determine how good he is as a GM.... But it's absolutely laughable that some of the same posters who preach patience for our terrible GM & his 8 years of ineptness (preaching that "we're on the right track") are some of the same who are ready to bury Dubas after 2 years
I hate the laffs, and hope Dubas screws things up royally.... Cuz if he's even half as "good" as MB has been, we'll be staring up at them for years to come
