In the Sabres case, it also means that if you’re going to be the youngest team in the league year after year you’re winning will take longer than you would expect or hope.
Good reminder.
It comes down to needing a team. One player can kickstart things, but that’s it. imo, it was more about Stevie’s work ethic and leadership than being a future hall of famer that made the difference. Salary caps can work in this environment.
Not sure what explains the Rangers’ descent into mediocrity, though. All-World goalie. All-World backup goalie. All-World defenseman. All-World forwards. Great front office. Great coaching staff.
Can’t say the Oilers failed on their #1 picks. Entertaining to watch. If they get cup calibre goaltending, not sure any team wants to face them in the playoffs.
Exactly. Total miss by the Oil... they could have handled things better with Hall and Nuge, but none of those three are close to the talent of McJesus.
I agree with your premise, even though it hurts. Hopefully the Oil win a few cups with their two remaining 1st overalls

Mais les Oilers sont OK
Les Rangers c’est pas les joueurs le problème .
La chimie a été brisé par la direction
Stevie Y was a hotshot kid and a team was built around him, resulting in a dynasty.
A tried and true method.
