We’ve played 27 games
We’ve won 5 games against teams currently in a playoff spot
3 games in a row was nice but we don’t have the juice
A good team doesn’t lose like this. Especially against a team without hedman, point, and 3/4 of their top 4 defensemen. Igor has faced the most shots and we cannot get any of our own let alone scoring chances
We are not a good team. An average team at best annd our best future assets are our two first round picks this offseason. We have no high end prospects. Perreault could be a first line player but he’s not a franchise player. Mika, jt, Trocheck are all on the wrong side of 30 on long term deals and only Trocheck is remotely tradable. Panarin needs to get dealt and not let walk for nothing. The best case scenario is Fox is out long term and they blow it up (not that I’d wish bad upon Fox, just purely objectively speaking). Not overly enthusiastic about the near future unless Drury loses his mind and does crazy stuff (he’s boring and arrogant so he won’t) or he gets fired
Id be fine with moving Fox out too. He has a NMC so he would have to agree to be moved.
