I keep coming back to same reality checks. They've been youngest team or close for longest time. They are always so far below salary cap. Have not had an experienced GM in forever. Have not had an experienced coach in forever, save for Ruff. Are trying to do it without a President H Ops. Conclusions... All these items have $ in common. Need to spend $ to make $ Compounded issues have led to compounded mistakes. Silver linings? When they finally make playoffs fans will go crazy (at least I will). $ will follow. Players are getting older/ more experienced. They seem to finally be letting talent develop with Amerks. If they can just fix 1-2 of the issues it just may fall into place .....finally.... by design or by finally getting lucky.

What a mystery. A lot of good thoughts here. I like etiennep99 comments especially. I agree they are not the best team but have enough talent for at least a playoff run. To me it must be coaching, sadly. One point that underscores this is putting new players and rookies on 1st line. There is no sense that promotions are earned in this organization. We need a proven HEAD coach at any level. Else start hiring coaches in 20 game increments. At the end of each 20 games the coach can continue if they have a winning record. Crazy yes, but couldn't be worse than what we have seen.

So is it still too early to feel some relief?
