3 points outta last place in the conference. And the teams below us have a game or two in hand. Not a great game for Coreau although I wouldn't read too much into that. Hopefully he gets more shots, we need to know which players are going to be worth holding onto when we eventually lose all the awful contracts and become decent again, hopefully starting in 2022-23. The key is bottoming out over the next couple years and having Holland retire. Until then let's ride Blash and Holland until the wheels fall off.
Well also 4 points out of a wildcard spot. In the PO thread many are hesitant to guarantee the Wings miss out, and for good reason. The scary possibility is the Wings dragging themselves very close, ending in 17th/18th.
6 years is loong time in the NHL there will be contract changes before that. Retirements, LTIR, buy-outs, trades, things can happen. Holland isn't as brain-dead as we like to joke about here.
