Yesterday I learned that Benoit’s an RFA after this year. Can’t wait to have him on the team next season.
Not to be a downer, but I find it a little disheartening that we are 8+ years into Willy, Auston and Mitch’s tenure, and this team isn’t a true contender. Watching them this season had really made me realize this squad is nowhere near complete enough to go the distance in the playoffs.
There obviously is skill, but they just look so off as a team and it doesn’t look like they are even a top 10 team in the league anymore (despite what the standings say).
