how do teams like LA, Tampa, Canes (and others) go through cycles of being elite, then tanking and drafting franchise stud players, and then back to elite again, and then tanking and getting more elite players again.
while we are stuck in the middle...
oh yes, then there’s Edmonton-Buffalo-Florida that are the complete opposite
We've been stuck in the middle for almost 25+ years now, and will for probably another 25. We lose to pens, we draft #1, then we might have a reason to be optimistic. You know how many years I have been saying that Rolex? I had no wrinkles and no grey hairs on my balls when I first started saying this team has no direction aside from being middle of the pack.
