Including early playoff exits.

A Cup, not so much. as long as the fans keep showing up, it won’t change.

As well as a place that many big-names have waved no-trade clauses to come to because of the organization’s reputation. So yeah- get used to it/

He has made some big trades (Thornton, Heatley, Boyle) that seem like good deals- but the circumstances always helped him (Must GM’s didn’t know Thornton was available, and Heatley and Boyle had to be shipped and had no-trade clauses and essentially chose San Jose), meanwhile his deadline moves have almost all been flops, and the development system is devoid of any decent prospects outside of goaltenders. I don’t think he’s been bad- but I do think he is tremendously over-rated. I’m sure there’s exceptions to everything I just said, but that’s my overall impression of him since he took over. I do know this- the big time guys he’s acquired haven’t gotten it done- and he hasn’t built a farm system that provides any cheap depth around them so there isn’t much help on the way. He’s put a lot of eggs in that Thornton/Marleau basket.

Since May 2000, only the Red Wings have won more games.. so yes.. Sharks are/were elite.
