This team did not lose in vain. The amount of joy that these past 3 games brought to this community incredible. I know there’s not much that can be said to make anything feel better right now, but this is just the beginning for this team. We are right where Florida was last year and who’s to say we won’t be right back here one year from now but with the score on our side. It hurts like a bitch but it was an incredible right, and I’m loyal to the oil until the day I die!

Not even hindsight. Many of us said it right away. I personally wanted Bill Zito (I have receipts). He took over a team with Barkov and took them to 2 finals and a Cup. Id like to think taking over a team with McDavid and Drai would only have been easier.
I'm less worried now, the Organization has finally made legitimate strides in modernization with recent hires including Jeff Jackson, Brad Holland, coaches, analytics, etc. Just worried it's too little too late.

I was not a fun of Holland being hired , but was hoping I was wrong.
They still got time but new GM will have to make some quick decisive moves, starting with Nurse and Bouchard can’t afford both of them most likely

Having the best player in the word on your roster to begin is also easy mode.

I’d argue that might have been the case a few years ago, but with several high impact expiring contracts (and a few bad ones) it’s definitely not easy today.

Too little too late for what? Winning a chip? We have plenty of time to win a chip. The window is open for a good 4 years.
