Your cause/effect relationship is faulty.

Im not saying that we will not make playoffs, because we did last season. I am just saying that there has not been a team that has won a cup that did not have at least 2-3 players with 65-70 points on their roster during regular season.
Winning a cup is the main goal, not just making a playoffs appearance...
Sure, the caps hit a hot goalie and got beat out! obviously! that happens! but in the end, the team that won it all had "4" players over 65 points! You need at least one or two of those big game breaking players to succeed in post season, not to mention a hot goalie (which we have).
My point of this essentially is, if we are not going to bring in that type of player, can Horny and Wilson do it ya think? Maybe a deadline deal gets us a big game forward?
