We're definitely not tanking. It's just not a good roster.
Look at the mode of acquisition...
Four regular forwards are our picks...
Crosby (1st, '05)
Malkin (1st, '04)
Rust (3rd, '10)
Guentzel (3rd, '13)
(O'Connor as a UDFA)
One regular d-man...
Letang (3rd, '05)
And Jarry (2nd, '13)
##
0 players drafted in the last 10 years are in our lineup. ****** Seattle has more than that and they've only existed since lunch time yesterday...
Who'd Tampa win with...Kuch, Point, Killer, Palat, Tyler Johnson, Gourde, Hedman, Vasy, forget even that loser Stamkos...
Our team in '09: 87, 71, 11, 58, 48, Talbot, Goose, Orpik, Scuderi, Fleury...
You really want about half of your team to be your picks if you can get there...we have three franchise caliber pieces from 20 years ago that were loyal...but otherwise, we have zip. So, it's all someone else's projects, someone else's development, and seeing if it's a fit here...it's tough.
