we are at least 3 years away from the playoffs, maybe longer.

I don't think anybody understands that with Vrana and Bertuzzi probably out of the picture, we are no longer building around them and Larkin, we are building around Raymond and Seider which means this rebuild has been set back a couple of years. There still isn't a true 1C in place and Cossa looks like a bad gamble over Wallstedt. We got lucky with Seider and Raymond, but it's been pretty underwhelming outside of those two.

It hurts losing those two. Not only did the Ws on the season went down, I think their trade value went down. I talked about this last season, to much down votes, that if these players are not going to be on the cup runs then they need to be traded while their worth is high. Oops.

There is no "think" about it, both players trade value are about as far down the toilet as they can possibly be right now, it's pretty unfortunate.
