A) I find your username funny so I tried to play with words. Another time I might say "this is the correct opinion"
B) True, and yes we went through a scorched earth rebuild but in 2018, we started with a very good prospect pool (Chabot as a rookie, Batherson, Formenton, Paul, White, Brown, goalies, etc) and very valuable assets in their PRIME (Karlsson, Stone, Duchene, Pageau, etc)
We had an incredible opportunity to build an elite team but Dorion asset management, lack of foresight and huge blunders hurt the rebuild a lot. We might still become a contender but it could have been much better and faster.
You seem to be saying "we'll see when we get there" but you have to realize that Chabot turns 26 y/o in January. Batherson turns 25 y/o in April, etc. We need to compete YESTERDAY ASAP
C) We all want a Cup. I don't know but I feel like our window might be very small. But next management will have the opportunity to retool and keep the "right guys" (Stutzle, Sanderson, Pinto, etc)
