[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1424922, member: 588522"] Really, this is what I'm concerned about, I agree the talent currently in the system is good enough to not worry about right now. The issue is, can this team make the playoffs standing pat? I'm fine with the team getting wild card spot, becuase the parity in the NHL is so extreme, making the playoffs gives you a better shot at winning it all than many other sports. But if we finish somewhere 10-15, I feel like the season was a waste. Why not ship some guys out now for future picks/players. Not sure who that would be, but if this team is obviously out of playoff contention in a couple months, why try and limp to the finish line when you can bolster the roster for the next couple years. I worry this team will be stuck in mediocrity for the next decade if we refuse to accept this isn't the same team it was 5 years ago. [/QUOTE]
