Theres no excuse why this team shouldn't be in the playoffs
If I was Jack I would ask for a trade out of this hell hole after this year
just unbelievable - gerbe75pts
I really doubt that happens, Jack's a smart hockey player, he knew what he was getting into when he signed. I would bet anything that if you asked him he would tell you he would have never expected 3/4 of the team to be in such slumps.
ita hit or miss like most teams
but Shanny Guerin Neidermier all helped that dynasty.
and i dont kwno what the muller trade is off hand but i bet they got something good
Too me its too long vs the other teams
should be since 2000 or something
I also missed they ended on 1987, but still those players got other good players in trades form 87 prior

No, it’s actually not wrong
Go look at the guys they picked & get back to me - jdfitz77
Verbeek, Daneyko, Sean Burke, Kirk Muller, Kirk MacLean, were all either pieces of that team or parlayed to acquire pieces that were instrumental in becoming that dynasty.

Jack's a Boston boy he' been in a winning atmosphere all his life I doubt he stays if this poop continues

Shanahan wasn’t there for the “dynasty”
Niedermayer was AFTER the years in that streak of top8 picks
Guerin was the only top8 pick they had who was a big part of their “dynasty”
So they got ONE big piece out of all that losing & top picks
Not enough to say that stretch of picks was the reason for their “dynasty”
Brodeur picked 20th, then Niedermayer after that is what really turned them into a very good team for long
Again though...
Not that actual streak of picks
Verbeek, Daneyko, Sean Burke, Kirk Muller, Kirk MacLean, were all either pieces of that team or parlayed to acquire pieces that were instrumental in becoming that dynasty. - buffalofan19
And besides Muller,
NONE of them were top8 picks in that streak
And even with Muller (or if u wanna day Shanahan too) that would be like giving GMTM credit for the player Jokiharju becomes bc we got him for Nylander
Nah, that kind of thinking is too much of a stretch
If the intent was to get Stevens,
they’d have drafted him instead of Shanahan
And back to what the point was...
a string of Top8 picks doesn’t necessarily mean squat
Especially when previous GMs have utterly destroyed any foundation of the organization
4th worst team in the conference ahead of only Ottawa, New Jersey and Detroit.
24th in league standings.
Year 6 of the rebuild.
We started 9-2–2

Not sure what people were realistically expecting with a roster populated by AHL caliber talent and first-round disappointments (Reinhart, Risto, Middlestats)
