[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1346598, member: 588522"] It's a combination of every level of this organization. Failure to keep/develop/actually play young guys in meaningful roles has caused our roster to age. Trades that deplete our farm system and draft classes to push for the cup has increased this even more. Poor contracts hamstring us in free agency. Questionable drafting. I hate to blame Q or Bowman because of what they made this team into, but they lack the ability to adapt and evolve their practices. No matter which way you spin it, the window is closer to closing than it has been in almost 10 years. Very difficult situation for the franchise, but I'll give them the rest of the season to figure it out. [/QUOTE]
