So teams lose their star players all the time and replace them and find hidden gems in the organization apparently we have none

You keep saying this, but have actually never shown who. I'll give you an example for a team that dropped like a rock. The Canadiens started 10-0 last year, Price got hurt and they drafted 9th. That's a team that couldn't overcome the loss of a single player. Or do they not count because Price is a goalie? The Canadiens had the worst record in the NHL in the 2nd half of last season.

Because it's his first full year. And he's only 23.

Only the Jets have a younger team than we do, so yes, this is a very young team still.

Not by NHL games played. We have many "young" players that have hundreds of games under their belt like ROR, Kane, Bogo, Girgensons, Risto etc.

It's an experienced roster

We haven't been drafting good in the late rounds

the thing about late round drafts picks is they usually don't pan out for several years.. therefore we really don't know that for sure.. take your chill pill

First of all some people are not realizing you're all expecting everything to get fixed And fine when Jack comes back hate to break it to you he's not gonna be the same it's going to take a long ass time he might only score one goal for the rest of the year


So this right now is your team for the rest of the year so yes they're meh

You can do that with just about any team, though. No team is devoid of players in their 30s no matter what stage it is in.

Nobody is saying everything is going to be all roses. What we can't really do though, is fully evaluate what we have since key pieces are missing.

It would be like trying to put together a piece of furniture when you fully know that you have to wait for a piece or two from the manufacturer. It sure as hell is not going to work if it's missing pieces.

So injuries are an excuse for Wilson but not for the entire Bills offense...Gotcha

See this is why you'll never win a stupid avatar bet, you don't know how to think

You're really going to let an entire German city burn so you can enjoy some pizza and wings?

Is a "hot top party" some new sex thing all the kids are doing?
