[QUOTE="maximilian, post: 1930290, member: 31291"] This is a seriously flawed and simplistic perspective. This team is only a few years into new ownership/GM situation. Since you mentioned you were a Pens fan, you of all people should understand what a terrible team looks like. The Pens had 4 straight years of 1st or 2nd overall picks, which they used to get Fleury/Malkin/Crosby/Jordan Staal. The NHL rewards being a loser, or being awesome. The worst place to be is where the Stars were post Zubov/Modano/Lehtinen. No high draft picks to replace them, and poor scouts to identify talent within their system. But that changed. The core of the team is all under 25 and signed for the next 4-5 years, all without having a draft pick better than 10th. Benn/Seguin/Nichushkin/Klingberg/Nemeth/Ritchie/McKenzie. That's far from being a loser. Edmonton and Buffalo are losers. [/QUOTE]
