I know every team went through it, but the truth is....however bitter it is for us and probably everybody else too...covid fucked this team right over.I know there's been a lot said about our first round exits and fair I guess but... I feel like watching other teams get their top picks and just flat out struggle to even make the playoffs afterwards shows you it's not really easy to make that jump. Making it immediately put some big expectations on us instead of these Ottawa/Buffalo teams that got to stay in their "they're up and coming!! they'll be better soon!!" bubble longer.
(That said, we shouldn't have really lost to CBJ and MTL)
What would the salary cap be without a pandemic, not to mention two expansion teams?
It's always easy to re-write imaginary history (hmmm) but I feel confident in saying this team gets out of the first round a few times at least.
