We’ve finished every year since 2013 in the bottom 8 or below. That’s right, 7 straight seasons, including 3 last-place finishes.
Teams in our vicinity have been improving substantially. Take a look at what NJD and NYR have added to the roster. I remain confident we finish above Ottawa, and probably LA, Anaheim and Detroit, but after that all bets are off.
Is there anything we can do at this point to avoid a finish in the bottom 8? My guess is we make one add of a middle six forward. Is the season already lost before it has even began, or do you see some good options on the market (trade/FA) that still remain that can improve the roster?
A lot of course will depend on internal improvement.
